I met my wife through playing golf. She is French and couldn't speak English and I couldn't speak French, so there was little chance of us getting involved in any boring conversations - that's why we got married really quickly.

If anything could have pulled me out of retirement it would have been an Indiana Jones film.

There's a lot of fantasy about what Scotland is, and the shortbread tins and that sort of thing.

Perhaps I'm not a good actor, but I would be even worse at doing anything else.

I still pay full tax when I work in England and the same when I work in America.

I left Scotland when I was 16 because I had no qualifications for anything but the Navy, having left school at 13.

How peaceful life would be without love. How safe, how tranquil and how dull.
