Filmmakers tell stories to explore human nature, which is always a flawed thing.

In film, I find it very useful always to do some preparation before you start rehearsals or start shooting, because there's so much that's against you on a film set.

I'm not tortured and neurasthenic - I'm really not.

I don't think anyone can walk through the world in a state of vulnerability all the time, can they?

My favorite Bond films are the really early ones, the first ones in fact, like 'Dr. No' and 'From Russia with Love.'

Dustin Hoffman also never does the same thing twice which is totally stimulating because you're always getting something new from him. You never really know what he's going to do next, so you have to be on your toes.

I find it really hard to say anything coherent or interesting about the work I do.
