Daniel is a superb actor who has all the qualities needed to bring a contemporary edge to the role, We believe that in Daniel Craig we have found the ideal 21st century Bond and we couldn't be more privileged to be working with Barbara and Michael, who are tireless champions and guardians of the James Bond legacy.

I am a character actor. I'm not a presence actor. And those exist all over the place.

I would have felt a little funny if another actor was playing this role.

The beauty about being a natural actor is just being yourself without getting caught up with how you think a role should be performed. The horror many novices face is not knowing that the natural counts much more than the pretention of being somebody else. The more natural you are then the more convincing the interpreted role will be. The horror many professionals face is that pretending to be natural eventually catches up with them.

What's great about being a character actor is you know that you can survive forever. It's not about the gloss of your eyebrows.

You know what your problem is, it's that you haven't seen enough movies - all of life's riddles are answered in the movies."
Steve Martin
