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.

I believe it is better to be prepared for illness than to wait for a cure.

Go out there and thrill me.

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

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.

I was born in London, so going there is always a treat.

I never liked guns, I hate them, I always blink before they go off.
