ROGER MOORE

We also have favourite place in France, called Charlot Premier in Nice, which does excellent oysters.

We all have a responsibility in life to do what we can to help those less fortunate.

People are always reading things into the films.

I said I did not know enough about UNICEF to handle a press conference and she said they would not want to talk about it they would only want to talk about films.

I don't like bungee jumping, but I do like skiing.

I never liked guns, I hate them, I always blink before they go off.

I have to be an optimist and say that it might get better.

Some are blessed with musical ability, others with good looks. Myself, I was blessed with modesty.

I believe it is better to be prepared for illness than to wait for a cure.

My acting range has always been something between the two extremes of 'raises left eyebrow' and 'raises right eyebrow.'

A lot of my reading over the next few months will be the works of Hans Christian Andersen - I have been appointed an ambassador for the bicentenary celebrations of his birth next year.

I love cash.

Bond was escapism, but not meant to be imitated in real life.

I was not born with tremendous ambition.

I've learnt that through life you just get on with it. You're going to meet a lot of dishonest people along the line and you say good luck to them. I hope they live in comfort. Then I start sticking more pins in their effigies.

I speak relatively little, except when I'm at home and I'm asking for things.

The fact of the matter is that most actors are shy people.

Sometimes I've had to put myself on a diet.

I never thought I was much of an actor anyway.

I was an only child and I wasn't going to share anything with anybody.

I must admit that I was in total awe of Stewart Granger. He was my idol.

I didn't learn the alphabet until I was 11.

I am a mixture of idealist and realist.

Not many of us are willing to give up everything we have.

Of course I do not regret the Bond days, I regret that sadly heroes in general are depicted with guns in their hands, and to tell the truth I have always hated guns and what they represent.
