• "The fact is, 20 years' time sitting in the corner of the bar going 'I could've been Bond' is not a place I want to be. But if I'm 20 years down sitting in the corner of a bar going, 'Yeah, and I did this and that instead,' then I'll be happy."..(EW, May 2005)




• "Some stalkers are quite benign, but finding someone in your garden at three o'clock in the morning with a meat cleaver and a hard-on can't be much fun."




• "I had a couple of martinis when I found out."




• "I watched every single Bond movie three or four times, taking in everything I could about how the character had been portrayed in the past, then threw all that away once I started doing the role."




• "I hate handguns. Handguns are used to shoot people and as long as they are around, people will shoot each other,"




• "It's a huge challenge, a huge responsibility, ... is a huge iconic figure in movie history. These opportunities don't come along very often so I thought, 'Why not?"




• "If you don't get bruised playing Bond, you're not doing it properly. I had black eyes, I had cuts, I was bruised, I had muscle strains, and I took a lot of painkillers. But it was part of the job."




• "Any voices or fantasies, he lives with. Those are his everyday life things."
