running people four
People used to call me Bond in the street. It was impossible to avoid crowds of people all over the place and blinding flashguns. The Beatles had to run the gauntlet as well, but at least there were four of them!
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.
happiest happiness
I was there for two years and working on that show is still one of the happiest times of my life,
guide obviously satisfy yardstick
My own guide is always what I find interesting. If it's something that makes me think: 'I'd like to see this' then that's the yardstick I apply. Obviously that doesn't satisfy everybody.
british john name national rock
His name is John Mason, a British national incarcerated in The Rock in 1962.
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.
change climate east five middle optimism peace sure within
What we really need is to get back some of the optimism we had five years ago (in the Middle East peace process) and I'm sure there's going to be a change in the climate within a week.
It would almost need a Mafia-like offer I couldn't refuse to do another movie.
wonderful
I don't think I'll ever act again. I have so many wonderful memories, but those days are over.
custom runs
It runs the gamut to the $5,000 custom pieces. If they want it matted in ostrich hide, we can do it.
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.
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 . . .
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'.
