I never disliked Bond, as some have thought. Creating a character like that does take a certain craft. It's simply natural to seek other roles. |
I was there for two years and working on that show is still one of the happiest times of my life, |
I've always loved woman. Blonde, brunette, but preferably foreign. They're more attractive than Britons. |
I've been very fortunate and have never had any real problems with people. But I've also had the guts to tell them, 'you're a bore'. |
I've honestly not been too aware of my age until I went to the doctor for a full check-up. He said I had the heart of a young man - 'but you're not young, you're 40. |
I've stayed friends with most directors I've worked with, and I never have a problem with any other actors, unless they're assholes. |
I’m incredibly lucky to still be around, doing all the things I want to do and getting extremely well paid for it. There’s a parallel with golf—a lot of it is in the mind, and the moment you start to lose the enthusiasm or appetite, it affects your judgments and decisions. And then you stop performing well. I think enthusiasm and appetite are more important than anything. |
If America had been discovered as many times as I have, no one would remember Columbus. |
It makes you wonder at times what exactly is the criteria to qualify. |
It runs the gamut to the $5,000 custom pieces. If they want it matted in ostrich hide, we can do it. |
Laughter kills fear, and without fear there can be no faith. For without fear of the devil there is no need for God. |
Love may not make the world go round, but I must admit that it makes the ride worthwhile. |
More than anything else, I'd like to be an old man with a good face, like Hitchcock or Picasso. |
My own guide is always what I find interesting. If it's something that makes me think: 'I'd like to see this' then that's the yardstick I apply. Obviously that doesn't satisfy everybody. |
My view is that to get anywhere in life you have to be anti-social, otherwise you'll end up being devoured. I've never been particularly social, anyway, but if I've ever been rude, fifty per cent of it has usually been provoked by other people's attitudes. Though I do admit, like most Celts, I'm moody. It's fine until people try to cheer you up with gems like, 'snap out of it' or 'Come on, now'. |
