"Look I've to look like I can kill somebody. If I take my shirt off...oh nice body. It's got to be...oh f**king hell, he could do somebody."
Daniel Craig (British GQ)

“I'm not shy and Bond wouldn't be shy about it either.” Daniel Craig

Daniel: (on Nicole Kidman) She turns me on. Not in a sordid, horrible way. Well, come to think of it...

Daniel: (on the movie “Casino Royale“) 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. Thank God I did, because I did as many of the stunts as I could — I got injured, I got hurt, but I never missed a day filming. Touch wood, I never will. It was important to do all that, yeah

Daniel: I'd love to get into buying art. I haven't started making money yet. If this is a success [Casino Royale], then I'd be making money. I'd love to have the money to buy art. It's very poor taste to talk about money. Needless to say, I'm very happy with my deal. Maybe it's British reserve. I don't have an Aston Martin either, but I'd like one

Daniel: (on Nicole Kidman ) I love Nicole. She's a wonderful lady and I really enjoy working with her, so it's a good thing and a happy thing for me to be able to work with her again

Daniel: (on his Bond action figure) [Laughs] It's home at the moment, sitting on my kitchen table. I don't think you can ever be happy with it — he scowls a lot! He may need to soften up a little bit

Daniel: (asked if he considered dyeing his hair black for the Bond role) Never for one second did I think about dyeing my hair! My hair was not an issue. I didn't want to be thinking about what's on top of my head. Hopefully, now it's not an issue. Hopefully, people don't see it now. Hopefully, I've got other things to offer than hair colour

Daniel: (on the criticism from Bond fans when he was first cast) Well, I get it. 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 criticised before I had presented anything, so it was name calling. I just had to be quiet and say, "Forget it. I can't think about it. I have to move forward and concentrate on getting this job right

Daniel: If you don't get wounded on a set, you are not doing your job right... *laughs

Daniel: (On getting the role of James Bond) When I heard that I got the part, the first thing I did was getting really drunk. And when I talk about beer, I talk about Guinness!
Other than that, you can make me happy with red wine and a good Vodka Martini.

Daniel: (About James Bond) I've been doing this job for ten years already, and this is my first time in a suit

Daniel Craig: (About meeting Spielberg for the first time) Terrifying. Well, not terrifying, it was actually great for me to meet Spielberg, I just had one of those phone calls like,Steven Spielberg wants to meet you, and I thought "fuck off, you've got to be joking," Next thing I'm on a train to Paris. I went into the meeting and walked out and went, "that went quite well

Daniel Craig: (How Daniel sees his role as the new James Bond.) I think there has to be an element of cruelty. Certain things he does should be questionable. I think should go, ‘F..k, that’s not nice.’ He is an assassin

Fred Topel:The minimum bid for your autograph is $150. How does that make you feel? Daniel Craig: I don’t care, really. You’ll be mistaking me for one of those actors who gives a f*** [about status].

Daniel Craig: It's a low budget independent movie and I can do that in America and Europe and that's a career. It's not my cause in life to be filthy rich. Being comfortable is enough. If money comes along I will take it.
I just want good scripts that try to make you think. I've been offered lots of money in the past but I just know that I would abuse it and get drunk.

Daniel Craig: If, say, I get a film with hate, tears and anger when I am nowhere even close to that level of emotion at that moment, then I will not do it. Films take a big chunk out of me. It's as simple as that. I put everything I can into it. So my choices are completely personal

Daniel Craig: I do theater, but singing and dancing…not really, no, I can hold a note, just about, and I can do two steps, but that's about it.

Daniel Craig: I'd always wanted to be an actor. My earliest memories are of dressing up, trying to get a lot of attention. I'd love to act, and I come from an artistic family in some respects. It's a great outlet, and at it's very best it sort of changes people's opinions about things, and attitudes towards things, whatever you do it's political, and everything you do should be political- you should be trying to make a point about something. And if you can manage to do that, then you're succeeding as an artist.

Из японского журнала SCREEN 2007 July

Interviewer: This Bond is described as a more romantic spy than ever. How about your own romance?
Daniel: When it comes to Romantic, we(you?) easily associate it with a beach hotel or champagne in front of a fireplace and candles. But as for me, even in a cave or under the bridge, when I fall in love with a woman and both want each other, and can have a witty conversation, here does come a Cupid. I have experienced some romances, and now I can tell if I leave it as it is because of being busy, it will inevitably go bad. I know well that I need to cooperate and understand enough each other for a lasting relationship, but I tend to make the same mistakes.

Daniel (on romance, love an relationship):

“Relationships don’t take care of themselves. Romance is fine but it’s not about expensive hotels and beautiful locations - it’s about being with the right person and feeling close to them. Being in love takes a lot of work"

А если бы и зазвездился! Нам-то это каким образом будет мешать? Как ты себе представляешь звезданутось нашего мальчика? В чем это должно выражаться?

Черт,надо было ему сначала свина в доме завести,а потом Сацуки. Был бы шанс,что она не задержалась бы.

"If people want to see these movies I'll keep doing them for as long as it takes - or until my knees go."
