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.

Everything I have done or attempted to do for Scotland has always been for her benefit, never my own and I defy anyone to prove otherwise.

I haven't found anywhere in the world where I want to be all the time. The best of my life is the moving. I look forward to going.

The knighthood I received was a fantastic honour but it's not something I've ever used and I don't think I ever will.

To cultivate an English accent is already a departure away from what you are.

You know, the Oscar I was awarded for The Untouchables is a wonderful thing, but I can honestly say that I'd rather have won the U.S. Open Golf Tournament.
