"I am not an entrant in the Shakespeare Stakes." - Ian Fleming
"Screw 'em." - Daniel Craig, The Best James Bond EverTM
Well, I wouldn't worry about that. Those that would boo at a statement like that clearly have no sense of humour. :v
"He’s a man way out there in the blue, riding on a smile and a shoeshine. And when they start not smiling back—that’s an earthquake. and then you get yourself a couple of spots on your hat, and you’re finished. Nobody dast blame this man. A salesman is got to dream, boy. It comes with the territory." Death of a Salesman
Back on topic ...Sir Roger's extemporaneous take on the Bond films ironically mirrors Fleming's own self-deprecating attitude toward the novels. As I indicate in my signature, Fleming made it clear that he knew he wasn't engaged in high-brow art...
Quoted for truth.
Even cousin Chris Lee has gone on record about it.
IF's brilliance, for me, was Bond's daily thoughts and rituals.
If you read Moore's entire quote (and more), there is elaboration. Plucking one phrase from it about outrageous situations in Bond, and then posting Roger Moore thinks the James Bond films are "ridiculous."

Well, you should work for the tabloids.
