Being an American is such a rich environment, because there's so many people from other countries and cultures, and through that you're able to see other people's experiences.

I can't understand why anyone would want nuclear warheads. If you shoot them off, it's not like you can take over that country - all you do is kill millions of people.

This is the Bond of the new millennium. Everything is updated, from the action sequences to the interaction between the characters. All the elements reflect changes that have occurred in the world in recent years.

Jaws was still a handsome, big guy. He got the girl. He was my favorite villain. I tried to make this guy endearing somewhat because all he wanted to do was unite his country.

In a lot of ways, the make-up was the character.

I was worried about being the nut that ruined 40 years of Bond history.

To be here today is just beyond my wildest dreams.
