I've got to be high class... Which is sad, because I like bars.

Nothing is stopping me from doing anything. I haven't got a golden handcuff.

The last thing on earth I wanted was to make a Bond movie.

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

I was sick and tired of being an English actor who did a lot of American movies because I was cheap and good.

Well the thing is, once you have a snow leopard it's difficult to go back. Everything is going to be slightly disappointing. It's very telling what your choice would be. Because that's probably how you see yourself. We used to play that game as kids and you'd say if you were animal what would you be and it'd usually be the opposite of what it should be. But all animals have got their virtues. You know, cockroaches got virtues.

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.
