If America had been discovered as many times as I have, no one would remember Columbus.

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 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 like women. I don't understand them, but I like them.

I don't know anything about baseball.

Your background and environment is with you for life. No question about that.

I don't think there is anything particularly wrong in hitting a woman, though I don't recommend you do it the same way that you hit a man.

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

You know, the Oscar I was awarded for The Untouchables is a wonderful thing, but I can honestly say that I'd rather have won the U.S. Open Golf Tournament.

I haven't found anywhere in the world where I want to be all the time. The best of my life is the moving. I look forward to going.

Perhaps I'm not a good actor, but I would be even worse at doing anything else.

I unfortunately don't speak French, but my wife is now fluent in English, which really reflects rather badly on me.

Only 4 percent of all the companies owned in Scotland have their head offices in Scotland.

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.

There's one major difference between James Bond and me! He is able to sort out problems!

It's a kind of madness in cosmopolitan cities now.

There is nothing like a challenge to bring out the best in man.

I am not an Englishman, I was never an Englishman, and I don't ever want to be one. I am a Scotsman! I was a Scotsman and I will always be one.

More than anything else, I'd like to be an old man with a good face, like Hitchcock or Picasso.

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.

I have always hated that damn James Bond. I'd like to kill him.

I don't understand if you get caught in a fight, but take it out on a room, how that implies some psychiatric disorder.

If America had been discovered as many times as I have, no one would remember Columbus.

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

I never trashed a hotel room or did drugs.

I left Scotland when I was 16 because I had no qualifications for anything but to join the Navy, having left school at 13.

There's a lot of fantasy about what Scotland is, and the shortbread tins and that sort of thing.

The Irish seem to have more fire about them than the Scots.

I don't think I'll ever act again. I have so many wonderful memories, but those days are over.

I left Scotland when I was 16 because I had no qualifications for anything but the Navy, having left school at 13.

There's one major difference between James Bond and me. He is able to sort out problems!

I like women I dont understand them but I like them.

Scotland should be nothing less than equal with all the other nations of the world.

An isolationist America is no bloody use to anyone.

My focus is that firearms are handled safely and that we can continue to enjoy them here in North America.

America is false to the past, false to the present, and solemnly binds herself to be false to the future.

Generally students are the best vehicles for passing on ideas, for their thoughts are plastic and can be molded and they can adjust the ideas of old men to the shape of reality as they find it in villages and hills of China or in ghettos and suburbs of America.

Who cares about that stuff? This is America, not Jerusalem. I'm an American. Let Harry be a Jew.

Disney had such a hold on the mind of America-they were Adolf Hitler. The whole country thought Disney was some sort of god and that animation was some sort of pure thing for children.

The only time I would like to see was the 20s and 30s in America because I love the music and the style and the optimism, I wanted to see New York being built. I wanted to see all that, you know.

I'm about to become a member of the Chemists Society of America. I'm very proud of that.

It's a cyclical thing. When they make one, everyone loves them. Different genres come around in succession. People always welcome the western. It's America's genre.

It is veneer, rouge, aestheticism, art museums, new theaters, etc. that make America impotent. The good things are football, kindness, and jazz bands.

If we can just take a few companies, and use those as models, as examples, to show the rest of corporate America how they can become more competitive, that's what I'd like to do and that's what I hope to do.
