It’s not the job of an actor to judge your character.

As a kid, I kind of spent my life being amazed by being tricked. I love being tricked. I still love it today.

I've always loved to dress up a bit and show off.

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.

The movie business is based on criminals. Some of them are in movies and some of them make movies.

I'm not James Bond. There's your headline! It's very clear to me that he's the furthest from my character that it's possible to be. It's somebody I play.

He knows that you have ability and what he does is he manipulates it and sort of empowers you.
