Sean Connery

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

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

I've always been hopeful about Scotland's prospects. And I now believe more than ever that Scotland is within touching distance of achieving independence and equality.

If anything could have pulled me out of retirement, it would have been an Indiana Jones film.

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 always a new challenge to keep you motivated.

There is nothing like a challenge to bring out the best in man.

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

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.

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

I have always hated that damn James Bond. I'd like to kill him.

I admit I'm being paid well, but it's no more than I deserve. After all, I've been screwed more times than a hooker.
