I'm swimming every day and I'm even trying to get the golf swing working again - but that might take a little bit longer.

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

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.

Scotland should be nothing less than equal with all the other nations of the world.

My dear girl, there are some things that just aren't done, such as drinking Dom Perignon '53 above the temperature of 38 degrees Fahrenheit. That's just as bad as listening to the Beatles without earmuffs!

After I began to make some money, my brain-damaged accountant put me in one business after another that went bad. The only one that panned out was a small bank, an old Scottish firm with London offices in Pall Mall. I was a director. We sold out to a larger bank. That was the only successful venture I've had, apart from acting.

Sean Connery
Image
I can't afford to slow down, but I suppose it really depends. As long as there's enough enthusiasm, then one wants to continue.
Sean Connery
Image
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.
Sean Connery
Image
The terrible beauty is that in the brotherhood of golf we are all the same - certifiable.

Sometimes a woman just needs to be slapped.

If you fear nothing, you love nothing. If you love nothing, what joy can there be in life?

Image
I don't understand if you get caught in a fight, but take it out on a room, how that implies some psychiatric disorder.
Sean Connery
Image
But as a Scot with a lifelong love of Scotland and the arts, I believe the opportunity of independence is too good to miss. Simply put there is no more creative an act than creating a new nation.

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.
