My first big break came when I was five years old. It's taken me more than seventy years to realise that. You see, at five I first learnt to read. It's that simple and it's that profound.
There is nothing like a challenge to bring out the best in man.
A martini. Shaken, not stirred.
May God grant us the wisdom to discover right, the will to choose it, and the strength to make it endure.
I don't think I'll ever act again.
There's something fundamentally wrong with a system where there's been 17 years of a Tory Government and the people of Scotland have voted Socialist for 17 years. That hardly seems democratic.
But I wouldn't call myself sadistic.
I've always been hopeful about Scotland's prospects. And I now believe more than ever that Scotland is within touching distance of achieving independence and equality.
I care about Bond and what happens to him. You cannot be connected with a character for this long and not have an interest. All the Bond films had their good points.
You know, the Oscar I was awarded for The Untouchables is a wonderful thing, but I can honestly say that I'd rather have won the U.S. Open Golf Tournament.
I am not an Englishman, I was never an Englishman, and I don't ever want to be one. I am a Scotsman! I was a Scotsman and I will always be one.
I don't think there is anything particularly wrong in hitting a woman, though I don't recommend you do it the same way that you hit a man.
I haven't found anywhere in the world where I want to be all the time. The best of my life is the moving. I look forward to going.
You write your first draft with your heart and you re-write with your head. The first key to writing is to write, not to think.
I can't afford to slow down, but I suppose it really depends. As long as there's enough enthusiasm, then one wants to continue.
There are women who take it to the wire. That's what they are looking for, the ultimate confrontation. They want a smack.
Laughter kills fear, and without fear there can be no faith. For without fear of the devil there is no need for God.
I admit I'm being paid well, but it's no more than I deserve. After all, I've been screwed more times than a hooker.
If you fear nothing, you love nothing. If you love nothing, what joy can there be in life?
Love may not make the world go round, but I must admit that it makes the ride worthwhile.
Don't wait for it to happen, don't even want it to happen - just watch what does happen.
Perhaps I'm not a good actor, but I would be even worse at doing anything else.
Your background and environment is with you for life. No question about that.
I find if I just sit down and think, a solution presents itself.
I just think the most difficult thing to displace is privilege.
I take the good with the bad. I can't love people in slices.
If you have to resort to violence, you've already lost.
If you can't do it with one bullet, don't do it at all.
Nothing is impossible, only mathematically improbable.
There's always a new challenge to keep you motivated.
