Films are now made by accountants. They pick a pretty young female or male face out of the air and give them a part - not because they think that person is right for it or is ready for it, but because they think that person will make them money.

I wasn't a spy. I'd have been spotted in five seconds. Yes, I was in intelligence, but that covered a multitude of things.

Ian Fleming was my cousin, you know. He was in naval intelligence.

I was attached to the SAS from time to time, but we are forbidden - former, present, or future - to discuss any specific operations.

Half of my success is my fearlessness and recklessness - of just seeing the end and not stopping until you get there.

A preoccupation with job title is an immediate giveaway that someone's priorities are not in line with the company's.

My first job in L.A. was actually playing an employee in a Best Buy commercial, but I played a bad employee at another store. I also worked at a commercial casting company running cameras and session directing.

Success begins at that magical moment when you declare to yourself, your friends, and the universe that you believe you can do something different.
