I was lucky enough to make four Bond films. It finished in rather shambolic fashion, but I have no bitterness, no resentment.
I think Indian women are very beautiful. They have a sense of elegance and innocence.
I left school at 15 feeling fairly useless and not really up to scratch in my education. And I still suffer sometimes from that lack of education.
It always helps to have a bit of prayer in your back pocket. At the end of the day, you have to have something, and for me, that is God, Jesus, my Catholic upbringing, my faith.
Action films can be like watching paint dry. You can just die in the trailer waiting for them to set up a shot, then you go out for a few minutes or an hour of endurance testing.
Be good to people, be kind to people, show up, read the lines, hit the mark, and go home.
I'm an artist, so I love the graphic design of Instagram.
I love the ukulele. It's got a beautiful, melodic tone to it. There's something innocent and romantic, and it's just a grand instrument to play.
Dealing with death is there forever, really, you know, because we all have to face it.
There's a wonderful stable of directors I've worked with, and work I've done that has dignity and meaningfulness.
I love the intimacy and the passion and the danger that go into independent filmmaking. Because it comes out of a creative necessity. It comes from people who really want to make a movie and want to make a difference and want to grab an audience by the gullet and show them something different.
I just find that you can become a very boring person living in L.A. I tell you, living there on a day-to-day basis is vacuous: terribly fake.
I'm pretty tried-and-tested in the world of 'suit acting.'
I live a pretty domestic and normal life. I make my kids breakfast most mornings, but nothing too elaborate - soft-boiled eggs and oatmeal.
