What need I fear of thee? But yet I`ll make assurance double sure, and take a bond of fate: thou shalt not live; That I may tell pale-hearted fear it lies, And sleep in spite of thunder
William Shakespeare
[On the backlash from Bond fans]: "I didn`t expect this backlash. You take it in, you can`t help it. I`ve been trying to give 110 per cent since the beginning but after all the fuss, maybe I started giving 115 per cent."
Daniel Craig
[on Casino Royale (2006)] I always wanted to go back, because it`s the blueprint of Bond`s character. It`s the one where Fleming [Ian Fleming] really painted in the details of what Bond was about, so I was disappointed that it didn`t happen, but you can`t...

Pierce Brosnan
If they had offered me James Bond, I probably couldn`t have gone to England anymore in my life. James Bond with an accent? That would have been something.

Both Sean and I will be forgotten after everybody sees Pierce. After seeing Pierce Brosnan playing James Bond on the set of the film GoldenEye (1995)
Roger Moore
[On former James Bond George Lazenby] George is just an angry, old, pissed-off guy. He was never an actor, but some pissed-off Aussie who doesn`t know how to show his feminine side. I met him, and he`s got that kind of brittle edge to him.
Pierce Brosnan
I thought Pierce Brosnan was a good choice. I liked GoldenEye (1995). Timothy Dalton never got a handle on the role. He took it seriously in the wrong way. The person who plays Bond has to be dangerous. If there isn`t a sense of threat, you can`t be cool.
Sean Connery
My dog and two cats are such a vital part of my life. To say that I am their owner doesn`t reflect at all the profound bond and responsibility that I have towards them. Therefore, I thoroughly support In Defense of Animals` initiative to utilize `guardian...

I don`t believe in Bond as a hero. It`s a load of nonsense. How can you be a spy when any bar you walk into, the bartender says, `Ah, Mr Bond. Shaken, not stirred?` - His explanation for his comical approach to the Bond character.

It`s very important to make the man believable so that you can stretch the fantasy. Whether people like this kind of Bond is another question. (on his approach to the role of James Bond)

Timothy Dalton
I didn`t like my Bond Girl outfits. The designer was a friend of the directors and I thought they were too boring and middle-aged for my character. The right costumes are essential for getting into a part; I`ve witnessed many costume parades with grumpy o...
Diana Rigg
Being an actor in Hollywood involves lots of things beyond acting. Charm really helps. And it`s a good idea to incorporate a little Bond into all your dealings.
Pierce Brosnan
I look back and think, "How did that happen?" I had no idea where I was going when I got into the Bond film. When I became famous I didn`t know how to handle it, so it almost drove me crazy. In retrospect you can only blame yourself. I`d loved to have had...
George Lazenby
[Talking about Daniel Craig]: "I think when Craig first took the (James Bond) part he got a pretty rough ride, which to a certain extent is inevitable because there are so many different people who have so many different ideas about something like that. Y...
Clive Owen
[on why he resigned the role of James Bond while filming You Only Live Twice (1967)] One of the reasons I stopped doing it was because I got really fed up with the space stuff and special effects. I just found it getting more and more influential in the m...
Sean Connery
The reason why I decided to wait two years after the Bond movie, and to work with Ang Lee in a martial arts movie, is because I really believe that this genre deserves more respect and dignity than it`s ever been given. Before, people saw it as a fairy ta...
