political-opinions target easy
I'm an easy target because of my political opinions.
records helpful posters
I've never kept a record of anything. I gave away everything: all the posters, the memorabilia that would have been helpful - and financially rewarding.
party character media
The media already attempts to assassinate my character in Scotland when I'm there, so my position is much more effective if I'm outside Scotland and am part of the voice of what the Scottish National Party is about.
now-and-then worst slap
It's not the worst thing to slap a woman now and then.
ships world motivated
When he reached the New World, Cortés burned his ships. As a result his crew was well-motivated.
needs sometimes
Sometimes a woman just needs to be slapped.
successful office brain
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.
running car clubs
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.
scotland world should
Scotland should be nothing less than equal with all the other nations of the world.
golf speak-english speaks-french
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.
differences ties able
There's one major difference between James Bond and me. He is able to sort out problems!
golf oscars honest
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.
wine should-have red
Red wine with fish. That should have told me something.
moving world want
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.
