After I've been in America for a while, I get homesick for Scotland.

I think Scotland has some great stories.

I get homesick.

I think once you get it in your head, that you're not going to do anything bigger, you just do things that you enjoy, which has always been my ethos anyway.

Then there are actors my age like Ethan Hawke, he's in 'Moby Dick,' I love his work. I've been lucky. Alfred Molina, he has real class.

But you talk to most filmmakers and it is six, seven, eight years trying to get things off the ground. It is incredible really.
