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 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.

I've always loved woman. Blonde, brunette, but preferably foreign. They're more attractive than Britons.

I did smoke pot a few times but nothing else. I would never inject. I'm too fond of the drink. I can go two weeks or more without it, but then I'm quite enthusiastic to get back to the taste again.

I have a great respect for money. I know how hard it is to earn and keep, especially with our diabolical taxes in Britain. I never get over the fact that sometimes I see more money being paid for a meal than my father earned in a week.

It runs the gamut to the $5,000 custom pieces. If they want it matted in ostrich hide, we can do it.

His character and my character were kind of the perfect combination to get laughs.
