George Lazenby's quotes

[Albert R. Broccoli] will tell you that I was a failure and difficult to work with. Unfortunately, he told a lot of people that and it meant that it was impossible to get employment.
[the result of his decision not to continue playing James Bond] I didn't have a job, I had two kids, I was married, and I was broke.
[when asked why he wanted to be James Bond] I'm looking forward to the broads and the bread.
[describing the James Bond character] He was a ruthless bastard, really.
[on GoldenEye (1995)] If Pierce Brosnan walked into a room, I doubt anyone would look up. But this is the '90s and women want a different man, a man who shows his feminine side. Pierce definitely has that.
I'm still waiting for that one right, perfect role, to set things right. I'd really love that chance.
[on being cast as James Bond] At first I was very humble about it and naive. And then I kinda got on the bandwagon and sort of said, 'I must be who they say I am' and demanded limousines and the whole bit.
[asked about his martial arts proficiency] Well, if you call brawling in Australian country pubs martial arts.
I was socking the bottle like crazy. I had maybe two bottles of vodka a day. I'd saturate myself and pass out. It was to insulate me from the madness around Bond.
I much prefer being a car salesman to a stereotyped James Bond. My parents think I'm insane, everybody thinks I'm insane passing up maybe millions of pounds. Nobody believed me. They thought it was a publicity stunt. But it's just me doing my own thing.
(Interview with an Australian magazine) I got a few roles but nothing spectacular, yet I was ready, willing and able to work. I just don't think I'm going to make it here. If something good came along I'd stay, though.
If I could get a TV series or a good movie, I swear I'd do it for nothing. People ask me if the Bond movie wasn't worth it if it got me into acting. It's true that it got me in, but it wasn't worth the ten years it cost me.
Well, I think Australians are... there is a shortage of women... put it that way. So you've got all this testosterone floating around so at 10 o'clock at night and what else is there to do but punch your mate! There's always something you did wrong.
Sean Connery was James Bond for me. He did very well and I was intimidated because he was a real actor. He had James Bond created around his personality and that weakened my position. It was difficult to follow him.
I think James Bond is great, but some of his little idiosyncracies I don't like, such as champagne and caviar, which I can't stand.
(On the Bond producers) They made me feel like I was mindless. They disregarded everything I suggested simply because I hadn't been in the film business like them for about a thousand years.
Bond is a brute. I've already put him behind me. I will never play him again. Peace - that's the message now.
(On roles he's been offered) But it's all commercial rubbish, such as the guy getting the girl at the end of Battle of Britain (1969). I'll just have to wait and see.
(In 1978) I thought I was as important as any sheik. Whatever I wanted I got. Looking back, the one thing I missed out on was reality.
(In 1978) I hung around Australia for a long time a couple of years ago. I got a few roles but nothing spectacular, yet I was ready, willing and able to work. I just don't think I'm going to make it here. If something good came along, I'd stay, though.
(In 1978) Being James Bond was like being a cola bottle. People came along and drank you dry. James Bond was so big that I myself didn't really exist.
(In 1978) I enjoy the States, to be quite honest about it. I've got an American wife and green card so I have the best of both worlds.
I didn't like Quantum of Solace. Bond became a killer. But Casino Royale ... Daniel Craig was good in that. They scored again because they got the right guy and a good movie. I was surprised that they could pull it off, but they blew it with the next one.
