We can now have action movies with two stars where one might be African American and one might be Asian American. One of them doesn't have to be white, and the other one doesn't have to be the ethnic sidekick. We're way over that. And I think it's happening in society, too.

No movie has ever been able to provide a catharsis for the Holocaust, and I suspect none will ever be able to provide one for 9/11. Such subjects overwhelm art.

If there's anything I hate more than a stupid action comedy, it's an incompetent stupid action comedy. It's not so bad it's good. It's so bad it's nothing else but bad.

I'm told we movie critics praise movies that are long and boring.

It's easier to identify with loss than love, because we have had so much more experience of it.

On this ancient and miraculous world, where such beautiful natural and living things have evolved, something has gone wrong when life itself is used as a manufacturing process.

Movies absorb our attention more completely, I think.

The movies that are made more thoughtfully or made or with more ambition often get just get drowned out by the noise.

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

Bond is fantasy.

I was an only child and I wasn't going to share anything with anybody.

What was good about 'Moonraker' was that we had Jaws back, because after 'The Spy Who Loved Me,' he became a well-loved villain.

I personally didn't like the idea of Bond in space.

I was fortunately always offered jobs because I was so pretty. Women used to complain about it!

Showbusiness is such a mad profession, I find commerce a wonderful outlet for keeping me sane.

We also have favourite place in France, called Charlot Premier in Nice, which does excellent oysters.

I'm used to bad reviews.

My iPhone has become rather precious because of all my music on it; every night, we set it for 20 minutes before we fall asleep to listen to some Mozart.

You can't be a real spy and have everybody in the world know who you are and what your drink is. That's just hysterically funny.

I've been married four times and caused a great deal of hurt and upset around me.

Bond has afforded me a great personal passport, which I use for UNICEF.

It's easy to sit in relative luxury and peace and pontificate on the subject of the Third World debts.

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've not done badly for a boy from Stockwell, where I used to gaze at the silver screen in wonderment, little realising I'd be a part of this magical world.

Without doubt, you are recognized for the last role you played.

I wouldn't like to meet Daniel Craig on a dark night if I'd said anything bad about him.

I enjoy tennis, though don't play very often nowadays, and skiing... oh yes and swimming.

Not many of us are willing to give up everything we have.

I don't like bungee jumping, but I do like skiing.

Tony and I had a good on and off screen relationship, we are two very different people, but we did share a sense of humor, we now live in different parts of the world but when we find ourselves in the same place it is more or less as if there had been no years in between.

In my teens, I was very insecure. And so I invented Roger Moore.

I was not born with tremendous ambition.

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

The knighthood for my humanitarian work meant more than if it had been for my acting.

Lana Turner taught me how to kiss on the set of the movie 'Diane' in the early Fifties.

Creating a character on or off the stage is an escape.

The Bond situations to me are so ridiculous, so outrageous. I mean, this man is supposed to be a spy, and yet everybody knows he's a spy.

Maybe come to think about it, that is the sign of an extrovert, in any event I have always from the earliest of ages found it difficult to wander into a restaurant on my own.

I think 'The Spy Who Loved Me' was the best, or rather the one I enjoyed doing the most.

I never really absorbed myself in a role like some actors do.

I had prostate cancer. It was rather painful and, in many ways, life-changing.

I do a lot of cooking; we eat a lot of fish, but I try not to make fattening things.

I enjoy being a highly overpaid actor.

There is nothing glamorous about death.

I have to be an optimist and say that it might get better.

I do not have time to sit down and regret anything although sometimes I wish I had been able to see more of my parents while they were alive and have done more for them.

A lot of my reading over the next few months will be the works of Hans Christian Andersen - I have been appointed an ambassador for the bicentenary celebrations of his birth next year.

I think arriving at or departing from any airport in America is just horrendous these days.

I'm sorry to say that no, I do not play the piano.

Working with UNICEF made me grow up and recognize how fortunate I am.
