“All the Bond films had their good points.”

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 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.

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.

There’s one major difference between James Bond and me. He is able to sort out problems!

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.

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.

We deserve leaders who stand for principal, who unite us all behind shared values, who cast aside anger for love. That is the standard we should expect from everybody.

I hope that tomorrow we can all, wherever we are, join in expressing our grief at Diana’s loss, and gratitude for her all-too-short life. It is a chance to show to the whole world the British nation united in grief and respect.

I have my ups and my downs like anyone. All I can do is be me.

All people belong to a We except me. Not to belong to a We makes you too lonesome.

I’m going to be real as hell and show you who I am, because I want the kids to see who I really am and the basketball players to see who I really am, and that’s all that matters to me.

Why it’s been left to me to smooth things over, I don’t know. Dennis Rodman, of all people.

If a man could but be turned about, he would see at once God and himself and the All.

I’m obviously not going to give you everything about my whole life, but as far as my personality, you see me all the time from watching the games.
