Fleming Quotations

Our kids are starting to come together. After that Fleming game, they could have gotten down but they didn't. Of course, it makes a difference when you've got your whole team.

I think we are in the best location in Fleming County.

When I was growing up, there were very few women athletes. I remember watching Olga Corbett, but Peggy Fleming and Janet Lynn were my role models. I never dreamt that I could be at that level. I remember thinking they seemed so elegant and regal and powerful and feminine.

Honestly, not being evasive, but the great thing about Bond is that I have fifty years of movies - 23 movies and all the Ian Fleming novels and short stories, all of which are fodder. And when I'm working on the new Bond, I'm constantly going back to Fleming and the other movies - what are the bits and pieces, what are the resonances?

Actually, Jacob's father, James Fleming (1773-1857 and his wife, Jane Hulse Fleming (1774-1843), were the first to settle in Point Pleasant. They moved from Shrewsbury to Point Pleasant and opened a tavern and a maritime business. Jacob and Mary Fleming were the first Flemings to live their whole lives in Point Pleasant.

The first Bond movie I saw at cinemas was 'For Your Eyes Only' when I was almost 10. I got into the Fleming books after watching 'A View To A Kill' a few years later.

We'd like to see William Fleming again in the last game of the regional tournament. If things work out for both of us, I guess that's what would happen.

Ian Fleming was my cousin, and he wanted me to play Dr. No, but by the time he got around to remembering to tell the producers, they'd already cast someone else. Spilt milk!

I can bore for England on the subject of James Bond. But I knew I couldn't do it frivolously; I had to take it very seriously, however much fun I was having. And I had to make myself, you know, absolutely steeped in Bond and in Fleming and that world.

The image of James Bond conjures charisma. But the casting of Craig follows with what Fleming wrote. Bond was not unattractive, but there was a cruelty about his mouth, and he was more real than Hollywood has portrayed him.
