“When I started 70 odd years ago I was told that to be a success you've got to have talent, personality and luck. I've had 99.9 percent luck and the other miniscule percentage would be having had the luck to have a little bit of talent, being able to stand upright and that's it. It's all luck.” YearsLittlesWould BeAbleBitsTalentPersonalityLittle BitPercentYears AgoLuckOddPercentages Author:Roger Moore
“My body's feeling it a little bit. But one good thing, my back is in good shape, and that's my main concern.

“I think 40 years ago, it would have been a little bit different because people had a tendency to think the actor was their part.
