You’re creating new things in movies and people are going to steal them.
When you’re making movies you’ve got to get obsessive.
Even the worst Bond movies, there’s something to love about them.
You know, I think the film business is its own worst enemy because it sells movies on DVD footage and ‘behind the scenes,’ and now it’s a real struggle trying to keep storylines and plotlines a secret.
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.
The subject matter is very tricky. It’s about the Munich massacre and what Mossad did afterwards with the assassination squads. I think it’s a turning point in history, especially for the Palestinians.
It’s a huge challenge, a huge responsibility. Bond is a huge iconic figure in movie history. These opportunities don’t come along very often so I thought, ‘Why not?’
I find it very easy playing Bond. I think he’s hilarious. He gets himself into some extraordinarily funny situations.
My family and friends treat me as they always have.
I just think that the collective experience of going to see a film is something you can’t recreate.
