I used to think the press was a necessary evil and now I don't think it is. I think it's something you choose.
Sometimes shooting on a smaller scale, as long as things don't blow out of proportion, is very liberating.
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.
I know ... Broccoli, I've known her for years.
I'm not trying to be macho, I promise you.
I had a couple of martinis when I found out.
He's an assassin. (Bond) has to prove that he can do it, so if he doesn't manage it or do it properly, then he doesn't get his 00 credits and he'd have to go back to being a commander in the navy.
But I do know people that have stalkers and it's not nice.
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?'
It was difficult, but I tried to think about it like any other job. We have got an incredible script, and that is my first line of attack. Once I had read it, I knew I did not have any choice. It is a huge iconic figure in movie history, and those things don't come along very often.
I've done a lot of things in my life.
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.
The genuine truth, and I do think about this a lot, is that I'm one of the least competitive people you'll ever meet. Except with myself.
It didn't even really matter how good the band was - if someone could keep a beat, then you were prepared to jump up and down and smash around.
