I just think the most difficult thing to displace is privilege.

Laughter kills fear, and without fear there can be no faith. For without fear of the devil there is no need for God.

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.

I admit I'm being paid well, but it's no more than I deserve. After all, I've been screwed more times than a hooker.

I care about Bond and what happens to him. You cannot be connected with a character for this long and not have an interest. All the Bond films had their good points.

When you hear someone from the very north of Scotland speaking, I think its nice, very musical and harmonious.

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.

Love may not make the world go round, but I must admit that it makes the ride worthwhile.

There are women who take it to the wire. That's what they are looking for, the ultimate confrontation. They want a smack.
