It's a huge challenge, a huge responsibility, ... is a huge iconic figure in movie history. These opportunities don't come along very often so I thought, 'Why not?'
I've always reverted to a sense of childhood, just in everyday life.
I know it's surprising, but there is a generation of people who haven't seen a Bond movie. They have no idea what it is. I want to entertain them as much as anyone else.
The important thing about Bond is that we have action sequences that excite the audience. It takes a lot of work. It's got to be of a very high standard. The best, in fact. The energy of it is about making it as exciting to watch as possible.
I've done a lot of things in my life.
I know ... Broccoli, I've known her for years.
We can't go fully monty in Bond, Because we can't get the rating.
The idea of regretting not doing this seemed insane to me. Sitting in the corner at a bar at age 60, saying: 'I could've been Bond. Buy me a drink.' That's the saddest place I could be. At least now at 60 I can say: 'I was Bond. Now buy me a drink.'
I find it very easy playing Bond. I think he's hilarious. He gets himself into some extraordinarily funny situations.
The last thing on earth I wanted was to make a Bond movie.
You get used to the rejection and you don't take it personally.
Good scripts are hard to find.
I stopped worrying about being desired a long time ago.
The movie business is based on criminals. Some of them are in movies and some of them make movies.
