I’m the fourth best James Bond.
Working with UNICEF made me grow up and recognize how fortunate I am.
Teach love, generosity, good manners and some of that will drift from the classroom to the home and who knows, the children will be educating the parents.
Of course I do my own stunts. And I also do my own lying.
It’s wonderful to travel with somebody that you love and we never travel anywhere without one another.
Over the next two years UNICEF will focus on improving access to and the quality of education to provide children who have dropped out of school or who work during school hours the opportunity to gain a formal education!
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.
If you don’t have humour, then you may as well nail the coffin lid down now.
To be associated with success is absolutely wonderful.
When I started 70 odd years ago I was told that to be a success you’ve got to have talent, personality and luck. I’ve had 99.9 percent luck and the other miniscule percentage would be having had the luck to have a little bit of talent, being able to stand upright and that’s it. It’s all luc.
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.
No, I’m not at all adventurous. I’m terribly cowardly.
I’m not in this business to win a popularity contest, I just want to be a good actor. Well, you’ve failed at being a good actor. Why not try for the popularity contest?
A lot of my reading over the next few months will be the works of Hans Christian Andersen – I have been appointed an ambassador for the bicentenary celebrations of his birth next year.
Maybe come to think about it, that is the sign of an extrovert, in any event I have always from the earliest of ages found it difficult to wander into a restaurant on my own.
Tony and I had a good on and off screen relationship, we are two very different people, but we did share a sense of humor, we now live in different parts of the world but when we find ourselves in the same place it is more or less as if there had been no years in between.
I think arriving at or departing from any airport in America is just horrendous these days.
There is nothing glamorous about death.
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.
