The character I play has all these revolutionary ideas. I think the classic thing is that majority people who are criticising it probably have never read the books, and need to. And I'm sure that the Catholic Church, which is being directed as you know, can handle it.
In many films, as many different characters, I've killed many different people.
I watched every single Bond movie three or four times, taking in everything I could about how the character had been portrayed in the past, then threw all that away once I started doing the role.
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.
It’s not the job of an actor to judge your character
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 think there's a complexity to it, but I think audiences are completely up for that.
We can't go fully monty in Bond, Because we can't get the rating.
My family and friends treat me as they always have.
I think there's a lot to be said for keeping your own counsel.
I don't care what other people are doing.
You've got to live your life, you've got to enjoy it.
We agreed to do it when I was drunk at his house one night, then on the day I had to have four large brandies - they didn't touch the sides at all. People just got on with it though. It didn't gather a crowd!
He doesn't look the part. In interviews and his movies he has never sounded or acted the part, and he looks like a dentist. But other than that, he really seems like he'll make a good Bond.
