I would like to make it known, on this program, loud and clear, that I would absolutely embrace with all five of my arms being a Bond villain.

I have a rather naive approach, I think, to my job.

But filming is good for you, because the crew isn't allowed to laugh. You can't get addicted to getting the laugh.

I think I'm more bonded, emotionally and in a craft sense, to films that tell extraordinary stories about extraordinary destinies.

I have never felt bereft of anything.

There was one titanic guiding light on the film set, and I was in the presence of a true Mahatma, in the deepest and most profound sense of the word.
