Posted this quote in another thread about him years ago. It was this sequence, which I saw on DVD, that made me realise he was more than just funny, he was touched with genius.
Now she was a real historical figure, that French princess. But at the time of the death ofWilliam Wallace, Braveheart, your national hero, she was only 4 years old. Now, Glasgow, Im not saying that William Wallace, Braveheart, your national hero,didn't have sex with her. You know,he probably did. If I look at my own background there's a lot of sexual opportunism involved. Im not saying he didn't have sex with her but if he did, and he definitely did, it would have been a far less romantic scene than the one enacted by Mel Gibson in the film Braveheart. It may have happened in a tent but it would still have been not a romantic scene. Because that would have made William Wallace, Braveheart, your national hero, a paedophile. A Scottish paedophile. The worst kind of paedophile that there is.
