Glasgow is less polite than Edinburgh but that's a good thing - they keep it very real.
I was born in Glasgow and brought up in a place in between Glasgow and Edinburgh called West Lothian!
You will always worry - a wee lad from Edinburgh going up on stage in Glasgow.
I have got the best of both worlds; growing up in Edinburgh and now living outside Glasgow.
Edinburgh is good craic. A romantic and beautiful city, it's one those places that makes me smile when I think about it - there are other places I would never dare go back to, but Edinburgh is very special.
I grew up in Edinburgh, but my dad's from Glasgow, and my mum's from Chingford in Essex, and I spent time in Ireland, too, so I was always somebody who absorbed accents. I would come back from visits, very much to the annoyance of friends and family, with an accent based on where I'd been.
I studied theatre at Glasgow University and then was lucky enough to land a scholarship with a theatre group in Edinburgh.
I was spotted in Glasgow and asked to enter a competition to find the Highland Spring Face of 1995 by the Storm agency. I won the Edinburgh heat, then I won the title in London and moved there aged 16.
What do you mean less than nothing? I don't think there is any such thing as less than nothing. Nothing is absolutely the limit of nothingness. It's the lowest you can go. It's the end of the line. How can something be less than nothing? If there were something that was less than nothing, then nothing would not be nothing, it would be something - even though it's just a very little bit of something. But if nothing is nothing, then nothing has nothing that is less than it is.
Good appearance doesn’t make a real man. The important thing is to do your best and keep your promises. A real man should show his faith in actions (rather) than words.
Glasgow's really friendly, with this impressive mix of real solidarity and identity that's very personal.
It seemed to him a very Edinburgh thing. Welcoming, but not very.
I like the Edinburgh Film Festival, and I've liked what I've experienced of Glasgow's Film Festival too.
When I was deputy chairman I could travel from Glasgow to Edinburgh without leaving Tory land. In a two-week period I covered every constituency in which we had an MP. There were 14. Now we have only one. We appear to have given up.
I used to say Edinburgh was a beautiful actress with no talent. I thought it was just like a shortbread tin. I think that's because I did six Festivals in a row there, and I never saw the real Edinburgh, just a lot of deeply annoying Cambridge Footlights kids wanting to be actresses.
I can remember somebody once saying to me that they thought my life must be less real than these other people that they were writing about, which I found a very peculiar thing 'cos all our lives are equally real, and it's just a matter of depicting them and talking about them.
I want everything, no matter what concept or genre, to feel real, because it is real. I want to keep making real music, I hope people remember me for that, that's a good thing to be remembered for.
