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

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.

If anything could have pulled me out of retirement, it would have been an Indiana Jones film.

It’s a kind of madness in cosmopolitan cities now.

If America had been discovered as many times as I have, no one would remember Columbus.

Some age, others mature.

Laughter kills fear, and without fear there can be no faith. For without fear of the devil there is no need for God.

Everyone talks about how they knew the Bond films were going to be a success, but it simply isn’t true.

All the Bond films had their good points.

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

It isn’t right to wish pain on other people just because they hurt me first.
