I'm one of the school of people who don't do research of the reality of the thing or the unreality of the thing. In all the movies I've done, I've never done any research.

Chic Murray once told me he fell in the street, and a woman said to him, "Did you fall?" He said, "No, I'm tryin' to break a bar of chocolate in my back pocket."

The great thing about Glasgow is that if there's a nuclear attack it'll look exactly the same afterwards.

I'm a citizen of the world. I like it that way. The world's a wonderful. I just think that some people are pretty badly represented. But when you speak to the people themselves they're delightful. They all want so little.

It's my mind, and I reserve the right to change it as often as I like.

Don't work out, work in.

The more you know the less the better.
