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.

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

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

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

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

I used to work for a living. Then I became an actor.

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.
