successful office brain
After I began to make some money, my brain-damaged accountant put me in one business after another that went bad.

That was the only successful venture I've had, apart from acting.

It makes you wonder at times what exactly is the criteria to qualify.

There's nothing wrong with a little anxiety to keep people on their toes. But anybody who's professional has no problems with me.

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'.

As far as I'm concerned, Bond is over and done with. You need a younger actor now, about thirty-five - Mel Gibson perhaps . . .

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