Be like a duck. Calm on the surface, but always paddling like the dickens underneath.

Someone said to me the other day: "Well, you're eventually going to live until 110." And I said: "Well, who's going to keep me? What age do I retire? 100?" How are you going to live all those years and who is going to keep you doing it? I have a couple of grandchildren now so I'm banking on them.

Obsession is a young man’s game.

I don't work very much, and I just sit here waiting for a script that I can't refuse - and I'm not talking about money.

My closest friends are Roger Moore, who is an actor, Sean Connery, who is an actor, Terry O'Neill, who is a photographer, Johnny Gold, who was the boss of Tramp, and Leslie Bricusse, who is a composer.

In my opinion, everybody is getting older and older. We have a great deal of dementia because nobody grew old enough to get it.

I learn the whole time. I think it would be dull if I thought I was going to work and wouldn't find something new. We always learn.
