I've done a lot of things in my life.
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.
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 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.
If I was being perfectly honest, which I'm not going to be, I think the movie touches on a lot of things that we all went through... the first kiss, which was more than a first kiss for Harry [Eden], and those electrifying moments when you're a teenager that form who you are as a human being. I think those, for me, are what Baillie captured so well.
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 never had any boyhood ambitions.
Well the thing is, once you have a snow leopard it's difficult to go back. Everything is going to be slightly disappointing. It's very telling what your choice would be. Because that's probably how you see yourself. We used to play that game as kids and you'd say if you were animal what would you be and it'd usually be the opposite of what it should be. But all animals have got their virtues. You know, cockroaches got virtues.
I love vodka martinis. I know it's a cliché.
There are things about guys who are in the army. They're very particular, they have to be.
As far as I'm concerned, the sexiness, the sex symbol, it's not a consideration.
The last thing on earth I wanted was to make a Bond movie.
You need to impress me, outwit me, compete with me? Go ahead, knock yourself out, I have no problem with that at all.
It's a Tim sandwich. The meat is fresh, but the bread is moldy.
