I'm sorry to say that no, I do not play the piano.

Not many of us are willing to give up everything we have.

Bond was escapism, but not meant to be imitated in real life.

I speak relatively little, except when I'm at home and I'm asking for things.

Working with UNICEF made me grow up and recognize how fortunate I am.

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.

The fact of the matter is that most actors are shy people.

Tony and I had a good on and off screen relationship, we are two very different people, but we did share a sense of humor, we now live in different parts of the world but when we find ourselves in the same place it is more or less as if there had been no years in between.

Some are blessed with musical ability, others with good looks. Myself, I was blessed with modesty.

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 was born in London, so going there is always a treat.

Creating a character on or off the stage is an escape.

I think arriving at or departing from any airport in America is just horrendous these days.

I do not have time to sit down and regret anything although sometimes I wish I had been able to see more of my parents while they were alive and have done more for them.

It's wonderful to travel with somebody that you love and we never travel anywhere without one another.

Kristina has been to the Maldives but never to Venice, and I have been to Venice but never to the Maldives.

I don't like bungee jumping, but I do like skiing.

I'm sorry to say that no, I do not play the piano.

There is nothing glamorous about death.

Of course I am frustrated with regard to extreme poverty, to violence that never seems to cease.

We also have favourite place in France, called Charlot Premier in Nice, which does excellent oysters.

I enjoy being a highly overpaid actor.

I have to be an optimist and say that it might get better.

I enjoy tennis, though don't play very often nowadays, and skiing... oh yes and swimming.

Whenever I'm asked who my favourite co-star is, I always hesitate in giving an answer.

I never liked guns, I hate them, I always blink before they go off.

Teach love, generosity, good manners and some of that will drift from the classroom to the home and who knows, the children will be educating the parents.

I must admit that I was in total awe of Stewart Granger. He was my idol.

A lot of my reading over the next few months will be the works of Hans Christian Andersen - I have been appointed an ambassador for the bicentenary celebrations of his birth next year.

Over the next two years UNICEF will focus on improving access to and the quality of education to provide children who have dropped out of school or who work during school hours the opportunity to gain a formal education!

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.

It's easy to sit in relative luxury and peace and pontificate on the subject of the Third World debts.

I believe it is better to be prepared for illness than to wait for a cure.

I didn't learn the alphabet until I was 11.

I don't think I've ever made any good financial decisions.

I love cash.

I loved my mother and father.

I nearly died of double bronchial pneumonia at the age of five.

I never stopped working.

I never thought I was much of an actor anyway.

I'm a little devil.

I've been married four times and caused a great deal of hurt and upset around me.

I've learnt that through life you just get on with it. You're going to meet a lot of dishonest people along the line and you say good luck to them. I hope they live in comfort. Then I start sticking more pins in their effigies.

If you don't have humour, then you may as well nail the coffin lid down now.

It's very tempting to over-eat all the bad things when you're on a film set.

My acting range has always been something between the two extremes of 'raises left eyebrow' and 'raises right eyebrow.'

My father believed in toughness, honesty, politeness and being on time. All very important lessons.

Not only am I a spender, I have had a couple of business people in the past who have been spending my money quite happily.
