Actor

I said I did not know enough about UNICEF to handle a press conference and she said they would not want to talk about it they would only want to talk about films.

'Skyfall' was marvellous, the best Bond film ever made.

I was considered chubby as a teen.

Lana Turner taught me how to kiss on the set of the movie 'Diane' in the early Fifties.

My James Bond wasn't any different to my Saint or my Persuaders or anything else I've done. I've just made everything that I play look like me and sound like me.

I am privileged to be at the right end of violins: not the end holding it but to listen to it.

I would love to be remembered as one of the greatest Lears or Hamlets.

I nearly died of double bronchial pneumonia at the age of five.

The wonderful thing about age is that your knees don't work as well, you can't run down steps quite as easily and obviously you can't lift heavy weights. But your mind doesn't feel any different.

I personally didn't like the idea of Bond in space.

I wouldn't like to meet Daniel Craig on a dark night if I'd said anything bad about him.

Selling your country's secrets is always wrong.

I've learnt that through life you just get on with it. You're going to meet a lot of dishonest people along the line and you say good luck to them. I hope they live in comfort. Then I start sticking more pins in their effigies.

I'm the worst Bond, according to the internet. Generally hated!

Not only am I a spender, I have had a couple of business people in the past who have been spending my money quite happily.

I never stopped working.

Bond is fantasy.

I speak relatively little, except when I'm at home and I'm asking for things.

To be associated with success is absolutely wonderful.

If you don't have humour, then you may as well nail the coffin lid down now.
