I just felt that you can't have a character fall in love so madly as they did in the last movie and not finish it off, understand it, get some closure. That's why the movie is called 'Quantum of Solace' - that's exactly what he's looking for.

I have never played a role in which someone's dark side shouldn't be explored.

In all good westerns, the good guy is always a little bit questionable because he kind-of has to make moral judgments.

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.

If you invite someone into your front room you can't be surprised when there are suddenly people outside your windows with cameras.

It doesn't matter whether you have the happiest upbringing... the young Joe Scot had the most dysfunctional family there could be but it's still a family and it's a really good, strong family. But in spite of that he runs away from home. I relate to all of those things very directly. I hit 40 this year but I still think about being a teenager and hopefully I will for the rest of my life. They are important years.

The subject matter is very tricky. It's about the Munich massacre and what Mossad did afterwards with the assassination squads. I think it's a turning point in history, especially for the Palestinians.
