Sir Roger Moore quotes of note.
Today I am completely opposed to small arms and what they can do to children. I played every role tongue-in-cheek because I don’t really believe in that sort of hero. I don’t like guns.
To me, the Bond situations are so ridiculous, so outrageous. I mean, this man is supposed to be a spy and yet, everybody knows he’s a spy. Every bartender in the world offers him martinis that are shaken, not stirred. What kind of serious spy is recognized everywhere he goes? It’s outrageous. So you have to treat the humor outrageously as well. My personality is entirely different than previous Bonds. I’m not that cold-blooded killer type. Which is why I play it mostly for laughs.
My acting range? Left eyebrow raised, right eyebrow raised.
That’s how when you actually get your cock stuck in the door you end up with nobody believing you.
My respect for him increased a lot when I read that it was his decision to stop playing bond, and his reason was that he didn’t think it was right to have such a huge age difference between him and the bond girl actresses.
They address this in the book From Russia With Love. Everybody knows the station chief of Instanbul is a spy. He doesn’t even hide it. As he says, there are advantages and disadvantages. Certainly anyone with information knows where to go.
wicked sense of humor
“my cock is stuck in the door!”
Uh-huh…
