Personal Quotes

On directing several of the James Bond pictures: "One of the rules with the Bond pictures is that you're not allowed to have a leading lady who can act - because we can't afford them....If ever we were to have a real leading lady, the next time around we'd have to find another one. And in no time at all we'd have to have, oh, Jane Fonda for $2 million and up."

On directing Sean Connery in Diamonds Are Forever (1971): "You don't tell Sean Connery how to play James Bond!"

A lot of 007's appeal, let's face it, stems from his doings with the ladies. So, find the ladies and we've won half the battle.
