After I began to make some money, my brain-damaged accountant put me in one business after another that went bad. The only one that panned out was a small bank, an old Scottish firm with London offices in Pall Mall. I was a director. We sold out to a larger bank. That was the only successful venture I've had, apart from acting.

I've never really fancied Mexican food. A taco rather minds me of a puncture outfit.

The great Jack Nicklaus summed things up neatly during a charity match on the Old Course at St. Andrews where he and I were playing against Ben Crenshaw and Glen Campbell. I asked him what he considered to be the most important factor to overcome in the game of golf. His reply, "It's an unfair game."

I did many other things before I ever got into the movies. I've been in so many businesses, it's a joke. All of them totally unsuited to me. Selling used cars. Running a club in London.

More than anything else, I'd like to be an old man with a good face, like Hitchcock or Picasso.

I'm fed up with the idiots... the ever-widening gap between people who know how to make movies and the people who green-light the movies.

It's not the worst thing to slap a woman now and then.
