As Sir Roger Moore sadly passes away aged 89, we’ve celebrated his finest quips with a rundown of his best ever quotes. The beloved actor was synonymous with his stint as James Bond across seven films including Live And Let Die, The Man With The Golden Gun, The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker.
But he was also an endless bank of hilarious life truths away from the screen, so here’s Sir Roger Moore’s finest quotes and fan anecdotes.
‘I’m the fourth best James Bond’
‘Of course I do my own stunts. And I also do my own lying.’
‘My acting range has always been something between the two extremes of “raises left eyebrow” and “raises right eyebrow”‘
‘I enjoy being a highly overpaid actor’: 10 of Roger Moore’s best ever quotes
‘You can either grow old gracefully or begrudgingly. I chose both.’
‘I enjoy being a highly overpaid actor’: 10 of Roger Moore’s best ever quotes
‘I enjoy being a highly overpaid actor.’
‘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.’
‘Sadly, I had to retire from the Bond films. The girls were getting younger, or I was just getting too old.’
‘Teach love, generosity, good manners and some of that will drift from the classroom to the home and who knows, the children will be educating the parents.’
‘I would love to be remembered as one of the greatest Lears or Hamlets. But, as that’s not going to happen, I’m quite happy I did Bond.’
‘I’ve not planned my funeral. I’m not the Queen. A procession through the streets of Stockwell would be nice, I suppose. But when I go, I’d just like everyone to say: “He lived longer than anyone I knew.”‘
