00:30The house in itself is not interesting. It's just an ordinary farmhouse. It's what what is inside is extraordinary
00:46Dad was able to create the house he wanted to live in
00:51Most people want to be individual they want to have furniture, which is individual
00:58So probably since I was about 10, I slept in this four poster bed
01:12And I came home to Nikki and I said to her I found the chair that I want to sit in for the rest of my life
01:19So he began when he realized he could play and he stopped taking himself too seriously then he became serious
01:25It's a very different dimension to being a dad on a pedestal

01:39These things are often a mysterious cataclysmic collision of coincidences
01:45We came together like this in the art school and on we went and changed Glasgow

02:30If we didn't have trees our planet would be dead
02:37I don't believe a minute that this place is going to be safe for the nation
02:42How could I have let her down like this
02:44Now I'm empty because I'm ready to just leave this place
02:54The only thing to do is a big fire
