bullets october be-careful
Be careful what you shoot at . . . most things in here don't react too well to bullets.
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.
character long care
I care about Bond and what happens to him. You cannot be connected with a character for this long and not have an interest. All the Bond films had their good points.
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.
join left school scotland
I left Scotland when I was 16 because I had no qualifications for anything but to join the Navy, having left school at 13.
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.
bit might swing trying
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.
age age-and-aging aware doctor full heart honestly man until
I've honestly not been too aware of my age until I went to the doctor for a full check-up. He said I had the heart of a young man - 'but you're not young, you're 40.
anxiety anybody people problems wrong
There's nothing wrong with a little anxiety to keep people on their toes. But anybody who's professional has no problems with me.
fortunate guts problems
I've been very fortunate and have never had any real problems with people. But I've also had the guts to tell them, 'you're a bore'.
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 . . .
attractive loved women
I've always loved woman. Blonde, brunette, but preferably foreign. They're more attractive than Britons.
few fond pot quite smoke taste weeks
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.
earn earned fact father great hard meal money paid respect taxes
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.
