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

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’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 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.

Wisdom is in yourself, just like a sweet ripe mango is already in a young green one.

I know this glass is already broken, so I enjoy it – incredibly.

All the time I think I can never love you more than I already do. And then you do something or say something, and I love you more than ever.

The truth is that you already are what you are seeking.

Whatever you can become will ultimately be destroyed. Only what you already are can’t be taken away.

You have a lot of suspicion from the neighbors of Afghanistan about U.S. intentions. Iran is already, to some extent, trying to undermine the U.S. in Afghanistan.

Nobody can give us what we really already are. Wouldn’t it be terrible if somebody could give you what you really are? …’cause if they could give it to you, they could take it away.

The truth is that you already are what you are seeking. You are looking for God with his eyes. I suggest you ask, “What’s ultimately behind this set of eyes?” Turn around to see what is looking.
