SEAN CONNERY

I'm an easy target because of my political opinions.

I don't think I'll ever act again. I have so many wonderful memories, but those days are over.

I just think the most difficult thing to displace is privilege.

I like women. I don't understand them, but I like them.

I have no shortage of material or offers, it's just a case of what you select to do. But I think it's realistic that my chances of playing Romeo are now over.

Laughter kills fear, and without fear there can be no faith. For without fear of the devil there is no need for God.

The knighthood I received was a fantastic honour but it's not something I've ever used and I don't think I ever will.

The Irish seem to have more fire about them than the Scots.

It's a kind of madness in cosmopolitan cities now.

If America had been discovered as many times as I have, no one would remember Columbus.

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.

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.

I don't understand if you get caught in a fight, but take it out on a room, how that implies some psychiatric disorder.

I don't think there is anything particularly wrong in hitting a woman, though I don't recommend you do it the same way that you hit a man.

When you hear someone from the very north of Scotland speaking, I think its nice, very musical and harmonious.

There's one major difference between James Bond and me. He is able to sort out problems!

Some age, others mature.

I never trashed a hotel room or did drugs.

I'm an actor - it's not brain surgery. If I do my job right, people won't ask for their money back.

There's something fundamentally wrong with a system where there's been 17 years of a Tory Government and the people of Scotland have voted Socialist for 17 years. That hardly seems democratic.

There are women who take it to the wire. That's what they are looking for, the ultimate confrontation. They want a smack.

Love may not make the world go round, but I must admit that it makes the ride worthwhile.

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.

I unfortunately don't speak French, but my wife is now fluent in English, which really reflects rather badly on me.

Perhaps I'm not a good actor, but I would be even worse at doing anything else.
