I did many other things before I ever got into the movies. I've been in so many businesses, it's a joke. All of them totally unsuited to me. Selling used cars. Running a club in London.

It's not the worst thing to slap a woman now and then.

But I wouldn't call myself sadistic.

I care about Bond and what happens to him. You cannot be connected with a character for this long and not have an interest. All the Bond films had their good points.

There are women who take it to the wire. That's what they are looking for, the ultimate confrontation. They want a smack.

Don't wait for it to happen, don't even want it to happen - just watch what does happen.

I'm fed up with the idiots... the ever-widening gap between people who know how to make movies and the people who green-light the movies.
