Pierce
Brosnan, on the premiere:
"This
is a very special night, one for the record books...
I
also think it's a very good movie, certainly
the
best one I've done..."
|
Halle
Berry, on the premiere:
"I
feel like I'm at The Oscars, although I don't have the
nerves
like I did that night, but it's as big as and
as
elaborate as... I'm overwhelmed!"
|
|
Toby
Stephens, on the fencing scene:
"I
think Pierce and Madonna were equally strong!"
|
Rosamund
Pike, on her debut shoot nerves:
"My
first day was the scene with Judi Dench. Everyone
said
that's a nice way to start. I kind of thought,
you
wanna reckon?!"

Rick
Yune
"I'm
a bit nervous, you know? There's a bunch of rules
us
Americans have to learn, especially being in front
of
Her Majesty, but I'm very excited..."
|
Will
Yun Lee
"This
is like the superbowl!"
|
|
Roger
Moore
"I'm
surprised the Bond legacy continued after I started!"
|
George
Lazenby
"I
wish I'd done another two or three more Bonds. But
people
haven't changed, they still like the same thing..."
|
|
Shirley
Bassey
"A
burst from Goldfinger? It'll cost you a fortune!"
|
Shirley
Eaton
"My
favourite Bond girl is Ursula Andress, but I think
we're
all fans of each other, and Halle is just
something
else..."
|
|
Maud
Adams
"I
love Roger, there's nothing bad to say about him, other than the
fact that he's a real joker and sometimes he
went
too far with all of us! But I adore the man..."
|
Lois
Chiles
"I
think we're all open-mouthed about it. None of us
can
believe what an amazing phenomenon Bond is,
all
over the world. Once you've been in a Bond, it's
incredible,
the fans just go crazy about you..."
|
|
Fiona
Fullerton
"Halle
Berry is incredibly special, she's going to be a
good
match for Ursula Andress. Pierce is my favourite
Bond,
no question. He's sensational, don't you think?"
|
Burt
Kwouk
"Like
all egotistical actors, I have to say that my favourite
Bond
was the one I was in... That was with Sean..."
|
|
Lindy
Hemming
"I
gave Pierce a linen suit which, for reasons we'll never
know,
began to shrink the minute any water got near it.
He
was going, 'Oh my God woman, what have you done
to
me?!' It was like The Incredible Shrinking Man..."
|
David
Arnold, on his composition for Icarus
"We
figured that choir was the only thing that would be awesome enough,
and I wanted them to be chanting something as it opens. What they're
actually saying is,
'Look
at the size of that umbrella', only backwards.
Because
that's what it looks like..."
|
|
Vic
Armstrong
"I
always looked at the hovercraft chase as the
'Stagecoach'
chase. I had the big hovercraft going
along,
which was Moon's hovercraft.
The
four ones going alongside it were the Indians,
if
you like, coming alongside the stagecoach."
|
Chris
Corbould
"We
had to do a sequence where this laser from space is
sweeping
across the DMZ, and so we did a series of
explosions
coming towards camera, over a quarter of a
mile.
Watching the crescendo of that coming towards
camera
was just wonderful."
|
|
Michael
G. Wilson
"My
favourite Bond film is Goldfinger. Gert Frobe, you know? His
Goldfinger is just a classic villain."
|
Lee
Tamahori
"We
wanted to create what I keep referring to as the great
old
Lewis Gilbert era of expansive Bond movies, and it was
great
fun to place a lot of twenty-first century action on
top
of what is effectively a good old-fashioned Cold War
spy
thriller."
