I have always thought if you are going to make a film, it's much better to have an original script that will play to film's strengths.

There is a disconnect between the film Bond and the literary Bond which is their contemporaneity. I don't suffer from that.

I don't think they'll ever make a retro Bond.

I can bore for England on the subject of James Bond. But I knew I couldn't do it frivolously; I had to take it very seriously, however much fun I was having. And I had to make myself, you know, absolutely steeped in Bond and in Fleming and that world.

Life is about, every single day, getting up to manifest your truth.

I have sometimes questioned the advice and direction I received from my parents and grandparents, but I never questioned the fact that they loved me. I learned that they were in a better position to know more about right and wrong than I did from my limited understanding and from my limited experience.

When I started training, I just started running every day, which you shouldn't do. I learned that lesson the hard way by getting a stress fracture.

I would vote for the man who's lived life, who's done different occupations, who's been out in the real world and struggled to make a living, struggled to raise a family, struggled with life as it exists. So I'd vote for experience, honest experience.
