I love going to Scotland.

I come more to Scotland than I ever used to, so I feel more connected to it, more part of the zeitgeist. You know when you realize you have a choice and I'm choosing my homeland. It's funny: when you get older these things creep up to you.

Being a great believer in Scottish tradition, I followed the example of my fellow countrymen and moved to England.

I feel so Scottish when I go abroad, and I'm so proud of it, but for me, it's not a political statement - I just happen to be Scottish.

I had a whole Scottish existence until we moved to London when I was four.

Glasgow has truly become my home away from home.

Of course I've had my moments of wanting to go back to Scotland, and I almost did a couple of times, but other things just came up.

Don't think I am not homesick for America. I say 'homesick' advisedly because I am a man with two homes - America, which gave me hospitality for many happy years, and where my daughter was born; and my native England.

I always feel that when I come to Edinburgh, in many ways I am coming home.

There's just no place like Scotland when the sun is out. I just love coming home.
