I can't go to war with paparazzi.

I find it very easy playing Bond. I think he's hilarious. He gets himself into some extraordinarily funny situations.

I always wanted to be an actor. I had the arrogance to believe I couldn't be anything else.

There is also a distinct possibility that there are other actors ? whose names have not leaked to the press ? who may stand just as good a chance of landing the part.

I know in my life there's stuff that will come back because I haven't dealt with it, and it's the same with everybody.

It's not like I was trying to be sexy but I had to get fit because I had to be able to do stunts. Also I wanted that, if Bond took his clothes off, he looked like a man who did what he did, which was kill people for a living. I thought the only way to do that was to work out and get fit and buff and get physically into shape.

I've never really had a desire to do Shakespeare. For me, it's just too many lines.
