He received a lifetime achievement award in the U.S. with a Kennedy Center Honor in 1999. Connery was knighted in the 2000 New Year Honours for services to film drama.
"I am not an Englishman, I was never an Englishman, and I don’t ever want to be one. I am a Scotsman! I was born a Scotsman and I will always be one."
"I met my wife through playing golf. She is French and couldn’t speak English and I couldn’t speak French, so there was little chance of us getting involved in any boring conversations – that’s why we got married really quickly."
"The Irish seem to have more fire about them than the Scots…I never trashed a hotel room or did drugs."
"Love may not make the world go round, but I must admit that it makes the ride worthwhile."
"I have always hated that d— James Bond. I’d like to kill him."
"There’s a lot of fantasy about what Scotland is, like the shortbread tins and that sort of thing."
"Perhaps I’m not a good actor, but I would be even worse at doing anything else."
