My mother was the prettiest woman in the town. He was a bit older than her. They made me. And he split.
Dark comedy is very difficult. You have to bring the audience in and push them away at the same time.
It will be very hard to get out of Bond. It will be the pictures I do between Bonds that will color my career, that will give my career longevity after this franchise is over ... I will be stamped with this character for life.
I had big dreams when I was a boy. And I can't say that I never saw a beach house in Malibu in those dreams.
Everyone can make a real difference. Your voice is needed in a global movement that can change their world.

People should be allowed to marry, and gay marriage should be out there. If a man or a woman has a good partner and they love each other with their heart and soul, let them marry. I am very much for gay marriage.
