The remark was tossed away at the end of a press conference to promote his new drama for the BBC, Looking After Jo Jo, but it still managed to make the sports pages of every Scottish paper.
Looking After Jo Jo bears a superficial resemblance to Trainspotting - 'Hey man, it's just like Hill Street Blues,' one character enthuses as he watches his mate shoot up for the first time - but it doesn't have the movie's ambivalence towards drugs.
It had same atmosphere as the place I was brought up in.' Despite a cortege-paced narrative, Looking After Jo Jo has enough wit and moral backbone to take its place alongside other recent gems in Scottish drama.
