I feel like the American years were my apprenticeship for doing a Bond movie.

Thank God I don't live in Los Angeles. I think if you're there the whole time it just gets out of proportion and you lose touch completely with reality.

I like throwing snowballs at small children.

Politicizing of kids starts with pregnancy, of course. You shouldn't be drinking wine. You can't be smoking, either. The poor woman is poked and prodded and touched and obsessed over.

Every Bond is different and every generation needs a different Bond and it's been able to move with the times.

One movie is only one movie. I want to have a lifetime of making films.

The perceived wisdom is that people do not go in large numbers to black-and-white movies anymore - which is a great shame, but I'd love to make a black-and-white movie one day.
