I didn't learn the alphabet until I was 11.

My father believed in toughness, honesty, politeness and being on time. All very important lessons.

My acting range has always been something between the two extremes of 'raises left eyebrow' and 'raises right eyebrow.'

I don't like bungee jumping, but I do like skiing.

Some are blessed with musical ability, others with good looks. Myself, I was blessed with modesty.

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.

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