“I met my wife through playing golf. She is French and couldn’t speak English and I couldn’t speak French, so there was little chance of us getting involved in any boring conversations – that’s why we got married really quickly.”

All the Bond films had their good points.

I’m an easy target because of my political opinions.

I like women. I don’t understand them, but I like them.

I am not a politician and I have no intention of being one.

I never trashed a hotel room or did drugs.

Scotland should be nothing less than equal with all the other nations of the world.

Only 4 percent of all the companies owned in Scotland have their head offices in Scotland.

I just think the most difficult thing to displace is privilege.

I have no shortage of material or offers, it’s just a case of what you select to do. But I think it’s realistic that my chances of playing Romeo are now over.

I don’t think I’ll ever act again. I have so many wonderful memories, but those days are over.

I’ve never kept a record of anything.

I have always hated that damn James Bond. I’d like to kill him.

There’s always a new challenge to keep you motivated.

There’s a lot of fantasy about what Scotland is, and the shortbread tins and that sort of thing.

When you hear someone from the very north of Scotland speaking, I think its nice, very musical and harmonious.

I unfortunately don’t speak French, but my wife is now fluent in English, which really reflects rather badly on me.

To be a winner you must want to win but must know of the chance of losing and must not fear of it.

God always offers us a second chance in life.

You don’t get another chance, life is no Nintendo game.

Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance.

Nothing in this world happens by chance.

A good fighter must sense rather than perceive his chance to strike.

All discarded lovers should be given a second chance, but with somebody else.

If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said it’d be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.
