I`ve honestly not been too aware of my age until I went to the doctor for a full check-up. He said I had the heart of a young man - "but you`re not young, you`re 40".
[on turning down the role of Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)] Yeah, well, I never understood it. I read the book. I read the script. I saw the movie. I still don`t understand it.
[on his knighthood being blocked by the Labour government for the second time in 1998] It`s purely political. I have never made any secret of my association, affiliation with the Scottish National Party. I don`t like the turn it`s taken now when they drag...
I thought Pierce Brosnan was a good choice. I liked GoldenEye (1995). Timothy Dalton never got a handle on the role. He took it seriously in the wrong way. The person who plays Bond has to be dangerous. If there isn`t a sense of threat, you can`t be cool.
