Actors don't really sit around discussing the parts they've played - just in case someone says, 'That was crap!'

I think 'The Spy Who Loved Me' was the best, or rather the one I enjoyed doing the most.

I've not done badly for a boy from Stockwell, where I used to gaze at the silver screen in wonderment, little realising I'd be a part of this magical world.

When I was doing Bond, I was always being sent scripts to play the derring-do hero, with explosions going on all around.

Learning a play is one thing, but to learn to play Vivaldi's 'Four Seasons' without music: that's brilliant.

I was possibly shy. I don't know why some people are shy and some aren't. Some people blush very easily.

Peter Sellers was a solitary character, always preferring to hide behind a mask, and consequently, you never really got to know the real Sellers.

I spent my life playing heroes because I looked like one.

You can't be a real spy and have everybody in the world know who you are and what your drink is. That's just hysterically funny.

I wouldn't like to meet Daniel Craig on a dark night if I'd said anything bad about him.
