    • Timothy: I like taking material I think impossible because that provokes an extreme effort of imagination and commitment. But I could never say which of my parts had most satisfied me or which was my favorite. Even my failures are my blood, my sweat, my care, my love, part of me, and I can't disown them.
    • Timothy: (On vodka martinis) I don't think I've drunk one since I've left the Bond movies. Every bar you go in, there's always some wisecrack, 'Oh, yours will be a Martini, shaken, not stirred!' You get sick and tired of that.
    • Timothy: (on his approach to the role of James Bond) It's very important to make the man believable so that you can stretch the fantasy. Whether people like this kind of Bond is another question.
    • Timothy: (describing his feelings on whether or not in retrospect he made the right decision not to make the James Bond film GoldenEye) When I saw those posters of Pierce (Brosnan) standing there, I suddenly thought to myself...I don't have to stand there with a gun to the side of my head anymore! I suddenly found the most tremendous sense of liberation, and I started to feel more like myself than I'd felt in years! I suddenly felt free!
    • Timothy: I felt as free as a bird! (describing driving down Sunset Boulevard and seeing a billboard that had Sean Connery, Roger Moore, and Pierce Brosnan on it, but no Timothy Dalton.)
    • Timothy: (On playing a character) You can't relate to a superhero, to a superman, but you can identify with a real man who in times of crisis draws forth some extraordinary quality from within himself and triumphs but only after a struggle. Real courage is knowing what faces you and knowing how to face it.
    • Timothy: (on his experience at the RADA) It took a year to undo the psychological damage that was caused by the oppressive teachers.
