“Some age, others mature.”

I care about Bond and what happens to him. You cannot be connected with a character for this long and not have an interest.

More than anything else, I’d like to be an old man with a good face, like Hitchcock or Picasso.

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.

To cultivate an English accent is already a departure away from what you are.

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.

Any education that matters is liberal. All the saving truths, all the healing graces that distinguish a good education from a bad one or a full education from a half empty one are contained in that word.

I’m not saying that people should live in unrepentant sin. I’m not saying that that’s a mark of a mature believer at all.

I believe in sanctification at the point of salvation. That doesn’t mean that we don’t continue to mature as believers in Christ. But I believe that we are justified and we are sanctified.

But we will encourage the church to do that in general for anyone and everyone who’s seeking to be a mature believer in Christ.

Only as we mature does affection begin to depend on achievement.

A spiritual teaching is a finger pointing toward Reality; it is not Reality itself. To be in a true and mature relationship with a spiritual teaching requires you to apply it, not simply believe in it.

Every fight I mature. I’m getting older.

The mature person meets the demands of life, while the immature person demands that life meet her demands.
