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've always reverted to a sense of childhood, just in everyday life.
Sometimes shooting on a smaller scale, as long as things don't blow out of proportion, is very liberating.
There's no real side to be on because I think it was a mess.
There's more than one way to sense violence.
We can't go fully monty in Bond, Because we can't get the rating.
I don't care about how much other actors get.
I am looking most forward to actually starting getting on with it, and feeling intimidated about pretty much everything. It is a sort of responsibility, but it is also a huge adventure.
I'd like to thank the Royal Marines for bringing me in like that and scaring the s--- out of me,
