bond elegance needs totally
No, no, no, no, no! He's totally not got the suave elegance that Bond needs - and as for making Bond
man
It's very important to make the man believable.
book memorable wind
'Gone With The Wind' is one of the all-time greats. Read Margaret Mitchell's book and watch the film again; it's a soap opera in all its glory. It is superb and memorable.
real moving heart
In animation, you can throw away people's defense. You can go right to the center of things, right through inside someone's heart. The characters anyway, they do represent different aspects of all of us - and put them all together, you get a human being. And so it's got a wonderful purity, a real purity that's so moving, exiting, everything.
men people important
It's very important to make the man believable so that you can stretch the fantasy. Whether people like this kind of Bond is another question.
growing-up three brilliant
If you grow up in Britain, you just do Shakespeare. If you go and work in a theater once or twice or three times in your life, you're going to end up doing a Shakespeare, because he's obviously such a brilliant, brilliant writer.
hero thinking welsh
Richard Burton was Welsh; Tom Jones is Welsh, and we Welshmen like to think of ourselves as heroes - on screen and off!
fun acting stories
It's horrid to be called a Shakespearean actor because that's incredibly limiting, and we love acting. We like telling stories; anything that excites us we want to be a part of. Science fiction is fun, too!
talking violence arena
I've never liked talking about my personal life, ever. Ever since I was 20, I've lived in a kind of public arena; and there have been stalkers, blackmailers, death threats, physical violence and threats to friends of mine, colleagues of mine, to myself.
stress writing guessing
I'm guessing the stress of having to write for a deadline can be inspiring. Sometimes, pressure is good.
careers forgotten ask-me
Don't ask me about my career - I've forgotten most of it.
crazy cutting guy
If you behave like a regular guy, you get treated like a regular guy. You can't cut yourself off from the world. You ultimately would go crazy, wouldn't you?
boys actors want
If you're a boy, you always want to be in a western; and any actor I know would like to be in a horror.
real knowing faces
Real courage is knowing what faces you and knowing how to face it.
