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.

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

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.

May God grant us the wisdom to discover right, the will to choose it, and the strength to make it endure.

I find if I just sit down and think, a solution presents itself.

Nothing is impossible, only mathematically improbable.

The Irish seem to have more fire about them than the Scots.
