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

Love may not make the world go round, but I must admit that it makes the ride worthwhile.

The knighthood I received was a fantastic honour but it’s not something I’ve ever used and I don’t think I ever will.

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.

There is nothing like a challenge to bring out the best in man.

Your background and environment is with you for life. No question about that.

I’m fed up with the idiots… the ever-widening gap between people who know how to make movies and the people who green-light the movies.

I’m an actor – it’s not brain surgery. If I do my job right, people won’t ask for their money back.

It would almost need a Mafia-like offer I couldn’t refuse to do another movie.

I’m swimming every day and I’m even trying to get the golf swing working again – but that might take a little bit longer.

For the future, the motto is, “No days unalert.”

Our darkest days were probably infused by the patterns we once needed to protect ourselves. – burden.

A smile across the aisle of a bus in the morning could save a suicide later in the day.

Wake up! No one is going to save you. No one is going to take care of your family or your retirement. No one is going to “make things” work out for you. The only way to do so is to utilize every moment of every day at 10X levels.

God doesn’t want religious duty. He doesn’t want a distracted, half-hearted, ‘Fine, I’ll read a chapter, now are You happy?’ attitude. God wants His word to be a delight to us, so much that we meditate on it day and night.

I don’t mind cloudy days. And how could I? My heart has cloudy days too.

In these days of difficulty, we Americans everywhere must and shall choose the path of social justice…, the path of faith, the path of hope, and the path of love toward our fellow man.

No one ever gets far unless he accomplishes the impossible at least once a day.
