Daniel Craig
I don't say: 'can't do that', 'won't do that'. I've never thought in that way about work.
There's a conscious decision to everything I do.
I don't care what other people are doing.
I'm a really bad liar.
I think there's a lot to be said for keeping your own counsel.
There's always going to be someone with a bigger toy than yours.
It's a Tim sandwich. The meat is fresh, but the bread is moldy.
He knows that you have ability and what he does is he manipulates it and sort of empowers you.
There's no real side to be on because I think it was a mess.
I've never really had a desire to do Shakespeare. For me, it's just too many lines.
There's a passion about this because people take it very close to their hearts and they have grown up with James Bond - and so have I. But I was being criticized before I had presented anything, so it was name calling.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 have never played a role in which someone's dark side shouldn't be explored.
A secret is a secret in my mind.
Look, I'm in love. I'm very happy.
I'm definitely not satisfied about my career. I don't know how you can be, it's the very nature of things.
You're creating new things in movies and people are going to steal them.
Intimate scenes on a movie set are just dry, bizarre things; people standing around.
I had to have shoulder reconstruction.
I guess you could say I've been in my share of violent movies.
In many films, as many different characters, I've killed many different people.
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 got through college.
There's more than one way to sense violence.
I've done a lot of things in my life.
I know it's surprising, but there is a generation of people who haven't seen a Bond movie. They have no idea what it is. I want to entertain them as much as anyone else.
I'm not trying to be macho, I promise you.
Good scripts are hard to find.
When you're making movies you've got to get obsessive.
The worst situation you can have in a thriller is a lead who looks like he can handle himself.
I know what I like in other actors: truth. That's the best. It makes you say, 'OK, I'll go with you on this.'
I take my work seriously.
Even the worst Bond movies, there's something to love about them.
The bad reviews get to me, believe me.
I think finding the right person and being with the right person is probably the answer to most things.Collection: Thinking
I've seen a lot in my life, and everybody goes down the dark, winding staircase eventually. It's a bad place to be and that's why having good friends is always essential. Those are the people who pull you out.Collection: Good Friend

A man is still likely to earn more money than a woman, even one doing the same job. You have a far better chance of entering political office or becoming a company director... Women are responsible for two thirds of the work done worldwide, yet earn only 10% of the total income and own 1% of the property... So, are we equals? Until the answer is yes, we must never stop asking.Collection: Jobs
Throw the computer away and don't look on the internet. That's the best thing to do.Collection: Looks
I'd hate to feel in a comfort zone while I am working. That's not the way I like to do things. I want to be pressurized and challenged every day.Collection: Hate
I don't say: 'can't do that', 'won't do that'. I've never thought in that way about work. 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.Collection: Inspirational
Having a sense of humour is really key. You have to have a sense of humour with these things and I've just tried to remain who I am. My life has changed. It's changed in the fact that I don't have the freedoms I did before, but I've also got a huge amount of other freedoms that came along with it.Collection: Keys
The movie business is based on criminals. Some of them are in movies and some of them make movies.Collection: Criminals
Obviously, when I came to do the movie I knew that I was going to have to take my clothes off so I might have worked a little bit harder to keep myself fit. But I think that's the irony of it - you see all these fit and healthy people, and I'm not making any comments on it, but everybody deep down is a f**k up somewhere.Collection: Thinking
It didn't even really matter how good the band was - if someone could keep a beat, then you were prepared to jump up and down and smash around.Collection: Band
