I've always loved the Bond films.

'Bond' was like Christmas: can't wait for it to come around. Being in the films brought me to a global audience, and I have had the opportunity to meet incredible people.

I always wanted to do an action movie, not particularly 'Bond.'

There is a disconnect between the film Bond and the literary Bond which is their contemporaneity. I don't suffer from that.

I think everyone who goes to see a 'Bond' movie expects to be impressed by the look and the locations chosen. Certainly I was when I grew up watching them, and I don't think that's changed in the last 50 years.

In all my 'Bond' films, everything you see there is fantastically real.

Three or four years ago, I got really caught up in the movies people were making, the opportunities they were getting, and I was looking at them with bitterness.

I love looking at the old Bond films. Maybe it's purely out of reminiscence, the nostalgic things you think about. But there were some very good films made, and I think that the public has enjoyed them, too.

I turned down twelve films last year... Huge money films, but I had no respect for the writer or the work.

Since I was a kid I've wanted to be in a Bond movie.
