Zitat des Tages von Daniel Craig:
As soon as someone tells me: 'You're rather sexy,' I wish I could disappear. If somebody says: 'You were voted the world's sexiest man,' I have no idea what that means. How do I respond? 'Thank you' is the best you can do. George Clooney is the world's sexiest man, anyway.
I was sick and tired of being an English actor who did a lot of American movies because I was cheap and good.
I got through college.
It's not like I was trying to be sexy but I had to get fit because I had to be able to do stunts. Also I wanted that, if Bond took his clothes off, he looked like a man who did what he did, which was kill people for a living. I thought the only way to do that was to work out and get fit and buff and get physically into shape.
I don't say: 'can't do that', 'won't do that'. I've never thought in that way about work.
In many films, as many different characters, I've killed many different people.
Sexiness, particularly in movies, is the chess game in the 'Thomas Crown Affair'. It's, it's, I don't know, but Faye Dunaway comes up a lot in that thinking. It's the subtlety of sexiness. The moment you try to be sexy, then it's not.
I had to have shoulder reconstruction.
I can't go to war with paparazzi.
There's more than one way to sense violence.
Being on your own would be sad, sick and weird. I don't trust myself. I need that balance.
He knows that you have ability and what he does is he manipulates it and sort of empowers you.
It's a Tim sandwich. The meat is fresh, but the bread is moldy.
You know, I think the film business is its own worst enemy because it sells movies on DVD footage and 'behind the scenes,' and now it's a real struggle trying to keep storylines and plotlines a secret.
Good scripts are hard to find.
I didn't want to do a zoo show. I didn't want to do a study of someone with mental illness. I just wanted to show someone who was trying to live their life.
The subject matter is very tricky. It's about the Munich massacre and what Mossad did afterwards with the assassination squads. I think it's a turning point in history, especially for the Palestinians.
We agreed to do it when I was drunk at his house one night, then on the day I had to have four large brandies - they didn't touch the sides at all. People just got on with it though. It didn't gather a crowd!
There's no real side to be on because I think it was a mess.
I find it very easy playing Bond. I think he's hilarious. He gets himself into some extraordinarily funny situations.
I don't care what other people are doing.
I have never played a role in which someone's dark side shouldn't be explored.
Things need shaking up politically, culturally.
I just felt that you can't have a character fall in love so madly as they did in the last movie and not finish it off, understand it, get some closure. That's why the movie is called 'Quantum of Solace' - that's exactly what he's looking for.
I'm potentially worth a lot of money, but I've got to go and make something that's worth a lot of money.
I've never really had a desire to do Shakespeare. For me, it's just too many lines.
There's always going to be someone with a bigger toy than yours.
The genuine truth, and I do think about this a lot, is that I'm one of the least competitive people you'll ever meet. Except with myself.
I always wanted to make movies.
I know in my life there's stuff that will come back because I haven't dealt with it, and it's the same with everybody.
The idea of regretting not doing this seemed insane to me. Sitting in the corner at a bar at age 60, saying: 'I could've been Bond. Buy me a drink.' That's the saddest place I could be. At least now at 60 I can say: 'I was Bond. Now buy me a drink.'
I'm not trying to be macho, I promise you.
I've always retained my privacy, but now I protect it even more.
The truth is, I don't have any problem with journalists - I count some of them as friends - also some of my heroes are journalists, I'm a big fan of Robert Fisk - great people or crazy people who are prepared to stand up for what's right.
Even the worst Bond movies, there's something to love about them.
A secret is a secret in my mind.
