Sean Connery

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

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

If my house was on fire, I can't compromise about which part of the house I'm going to save. You save the whole house or it will all burn down. We either save this country or we do not.

I've never played Scots or got the chance to do my Scottish accent. I'm always trying it out in auditions, but they always say no. I'd love to act in a Scottish accent for once.

But I will say that living in Ireland has changed the cadence and fullness of speech, since the Irish love words and use as many of them in a sentence as possible.
