bond far gibson perhaps younger
As far as I'm concerned, Bond is over and done with. You need a younger actor now, about thirty-five - Mel Gibson perhaps . . .
british john name national rock
His name is John Mason, a British national incarcerated in The Rock in 1962.
guide obviously satisfy yardstick
My own guide is always what I find interesting. If it's something that makes me think: 'I'd like to see this' then that's the yardstick I apply. Obviously that doesn't satisfy everybody.
character perfect
His character and my character were kind of the perfect combination to get laughs.
certain character creating disliked natural seek simply
I never disliked Bond, as some have thought. Creating a character like that does take a certain craft. It's simply natural to seek other roles.

I'm swimming every day and I'm even trying to get the golf swing working again - but that might take a little bit longer.
affects appetite enthusiasm extremely incredibly judgments lose lucky moment paid parallel performing start stop
Im incredibly lucky to still be around, doing all the things I want to do and getting extremely well paid for it. Theres a parallel with golfa lot of it is in the mind, and the moment you start to lose the enthusiasm or appetite, it affects your judgments and decisions. And then you stop performing well. I think enthusiasm and appetite are more important than anything.

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

Most movies shot in Italian don't even bother to record the sound. In fact, sometimes when Fellini works, he doesn't even know what the dialogue is going to be, and he simply has his characters count from 1 to 10, knowing he will loop in their dialogue later.
mexican mind tacos
I've never really fancied Mexican food. A taco rather minds me of a puncture outfit.
thinking
I don't think I'll ever act again.
fire ireland-and-the-irish scots
The Irish seem to have more fire about them than the Scots.
speaks-french wife fluent
I unfortunately don't speak French, but my wife is now fluent in English, which really reflects rather badly on me.
justice waiting watches
Don't wait for it to happen, don't even want it to happen - just watch what does happen.
