I am privileged to be at the right end of violins: not the end holding it but to listen to it.
Selling your country's secrets is always wrong.
When I was playing James Bond, it was the best job in the world. I mean, it was hard work, all that filming and travelling and tedium on set, but I earned a lot of money, and it was not a taxing job. I just had to say, 'Shaken, not stirred.'
Of course I do not regret the Bond days, I regret that sadly heroes in general are depicted with guns in their hands, and to tell the truth I have always hated guns and what they represent.

Working with UNICEF made me grow up and recognize how fortunate I am.
Creating a character on or off the stage is an escape.
There is nothing glamorous about death.
My attitude about death is, going into the next room, and it's a room that the rest of us can't get into because we don't have the key. But when we do get the key, we'll go in there, and we'll see one another again, in some shape or form or whatever. It's not the end.
Bond has afforded me a great personal passport, which I use for UNICEF.
I spent my life playing heroes because I looked like one.
Sammy Davis Jr. was a real movie buff who loved nothing better than being around a film studio - whether he was working or not.
Rex Harrison could be a rather mean-spirited man, and he wasn't regarded very warmly by those who knew him.
My acting range has always been something between the two extremes of 'raises left eyebrow' and 'raises right eyebrow.'
The knighthood for my humanitarian work meant more than if it had been for my acting.

Kristina has been to the Maldives but never to Venice, and I have been to Venice but never to the Maldives.
Wait until the baby is born before you start criticising it, I say!
I was born in London, so going there is always a treat.
Maybe come to think about it, that is the sign of an extrovert, in any event I have always from the earliest of ages found it difficult to wander into a restaurant on my own.
I am a mixture of idealist and realist.
I said I did not know enough about UNICEF to handle a press conference and she said they would not want to talk about it they would only want to talk about films.

The wonderful thing about age is that your knees don't work as well, you can't run down steps quite as easily and obviously you can't lift heavy weights. But your mind doesn't feel any different.

I never really absorbed myself in a role like some actors do.
I was probably a little bit overweight as a child, being passionate about baked beans on toast and Cadbury's milk chocolate when I could get it.
