I'm quite good at leaning against a bar.
I'm not James Bond. There's your headline! It's very clear to me that he's the furthest from my character that it's possible to be. It's somebody I play.
Action movies live and die by the story that you're trying to tell. It's hard. It's very difficult to do an action movie that stays engaging.
I just felt that you can't have a character fall in love so madly as they did in the last movie and not finish it off, understand it, get some closure. That's why the movie is called 'Quantum of Solace' - that's exactly what he's looking for.
I've got to be high class... Which is sad, because I like bars.
It doesn't matter whether you have the happiest upbringing... the young Joe Scot had the most dysfunctional family there could be but it's still a family and it's a really good, strong family. But in spite of that he runs away from home. I relate to all of those things very directly. I hit 40 this year but I still think about being a teenager and hopefully I will for the rest of my life. They are important years.
I always wanted to make movies.
I think finding the right person and being with the right person is probably the answer to most things.
I never had any boyhood ambitions.
If I wanted to make spy movies for the rest of my life, that would be one thing, but I don't want to just make spy movies.
I've always retained my privacy, but now I protect it even more.
I never really had a strong accent.
There's a conscious decision to everything I do.
In all good westerns, the good guy is always a little bit questionable because he kind-of has to make moral judgments.
