I nearly died of double bronchial pneumonia at the age of five.

I enjoy tennis, though don't play very often nowadays, and skiing... oh yes and swimming.

I loved my mother and father.

We also have favourite place in France, called Charlot Premier in Nice, which does excellent oysters.

I don't think I've ever made any good financial decisions.

Being known for Bond, certainly when you're in foreign countries, makes people curious. You get to see presidents because their wives were curious; their children were curious about Bond or The Saint or whatever. Then once you have your foot through the door, you can then let them see that you're serious about what you're talking about, and not just a twit.

The saddest sight these days is the image of hundreds of thousands of children kidnapped and lured into being child soldiers from the age of eight.
