Terence Young - biography

“Bond was how Fleming saw himself; the sardonic, cruel mouth, the hard, tight skinned face.”

“There was no actual person who was James Bond, despite all the books.”

“I don’t think anything you’ve written is immortal as yet.”

“Transforming a line like that makes it into a belly laugh instead of a laugh against us.”

“With the exception of Lassie, Sean Connery is the only person I know who’s never been spoiled by success.”
