Actor

No, I'm not at all adventurous. I'm terribly cowardly.

I was an only child and I wasn't going to share anything with anybody.

You can either grow old gracefully or begrudgingly. I chose both.

I enjoy being a highly overpaid actor.

Many take the roles home with them and live the part. I'm quite happy to leave mine at the studio and return home as I left: simple old Roger Moore.

My father believed in toughness, honesty, politeness and being on time. All very important lessons.

I have to be an optimist and say that it might get better.

Working with UNICEF made me grow up and recognize how fortunate I am.

People are always reading things into the films.

Wait until the baby is born before you start criticising it, I say!

Of course I do not regret the Bond days, I regret that sadly heroes in general are depicted with guns in their hands, and to tell the truth I have always hated guns and what they represent.

I don't want to be remembered, because I'm not planning on going. I'm staying!

What was good about 'Moonraker' was that we had Jaws back, because after 'The Spy Who Loved Me,' he became a well-loved villain.

We also have favourite place in France, called Charlot Premier in Nice, which does excellent oysters.

I was possibly shy. I don't know why some people are shy and some aren't. Some people blush very easily.

I am a mixture of idealist and realist.

Creating a character on or off the stage is an escape.

I was so pretty, actresses didn't want to work with me.

The Bond situations to me are so ridiculous, so outrageous. I mean, this man is supposed to be a spy, and yet everybody knows he's a spy.

Peter Sellers was a solitary character, always preferring to hide behind a mask, and consequently, you never really got to know the real Sellers.
