As far as I'm concerned, the sexiness, the sex symbol, it's not a consideration.
It's not like I was trying to be sexy but I had to get fit because I had to be able to do stunts. Also I wanted that, if Bond took his clothes off, he looked like a man who did what he did, which was kill people for a living. I thought the only way to do that was to work out and get fit and buff and get physically into shape.
As soon as someone tells me: 'You're rather sexy,' I wish I could disappear. If somebody says: 'You were voted the world's sexiest man,' I have no idea what that means. How do I respond? 'Thank you' is the best you can do. George Clooney is the world's sexiest man, anyway.
It's not like I go out there to be a sex symbol. I mean, it's nice of course - but embarrassing.
Sexiness, particularly in movies, is the chess game in the 'Thomas Crown Affair'. It's, it's, I don't know, but Faye Dunaway comes up a lot in that thinking. It's the subtlety of sexiness. The moment you try to be sexy, then it's not.
I'm not shy and Bond wouldn't be shy about it either.
I'm not trying to be macho, I promise you.
I've just got to step up to the plate and deal with it, ... Together with Martin, I just want to make the best film I can. It's not a question of redefining, but taking it somewhere it's never gone before.
I've done a lot of things in my life.
Together with Martin, I want to make the best film we can, the most entertaining film we can.
There's no real side to be on because I think it was a mess.
There's more than one way to sense violence.
I've always reverted to a sense of childhood, just in everyday life.
I used to think the press was a necessary evil and now I don't think it is. I think it's something you choose.
