Quotes

“This is a film that really inhabits the proper world of James Bond. I mean, James Bond lives in a world that is violent and dangerous.”
“I don't believe Bond is superman, a cardboard cut out or two-dimensional. He's got to be a human being. He’s got to be identifiable, and that's what I'm trying to be... It's not a spoof, it's not light, it's not jokey.”
“He's terrific. I think [Casino Royale] is a huge step forward - a leap forward.”
“It was a remarkable time of my life. I don’t think anyone except the few people who have played James Bond can tell you how strange and special it is and how much your life changes. I have no regrets about doing it at all.”
“Roger can climb out of a pocket aeroplane and give a glib remark, I can't”
“Richard Burton was Welsh; Tom Jones is Welsh, and we Welshmen like to think of ourselves as heroes - on screen and off!”
