I wanted Daniel Craig, and Michael wanted Daniel Craig, so we just stuck to our guns. Fortunately, we had the right management who really stuck with us. Thanks to that, we got our choice. He’s been an extraordinary Bond, and he is very much the right Bond for the 21st century.

We just try to make the best film we can, each time, and hope that we satisfy the fans. I’m sure, with Skyfall, that we will. I think it’s a terrific film. I hope the audiences enjoy it, as much as we’ve enjoyed making it.

People go to extraordinary lengths to get films made.

Every 20 minutes you’ve got to have a bump, you’ve got to have a change in course, you’ve got to unsettle the audience. It can’t be too predictable so something has to happen. I think that was something that Hitchcock did very well too. You couldn’t let an audience feel too settled in.

So as I was growing up, my father was always in the middle of making a film or preparing a film. It was a full-time, all-consuming type of operation.

Bad movies are when people go oh, I wasted $10 bucks and 2 hours and I don’t even want to go back again.

It’s a privilege. It’s a real honor. It’s a challenge. Michael and I always feel we stand on tall shoulders when we make these films. Audiences come to them with a lot of good will because of what’s come before.

It’s been such a huge part of my life, it’s hard for me to separate it out. All I can say is that I had an extraordinary childhood. I was around these amazing people and went to exotic locations. The whole movie-making thing is so magical.

My father used to describe how he’d love going, early in the morning, out on a location and waiting for the trucks to arrive and the circus to come to town. That’s what it’s like, every day, when you’re making a film. It’s the magic.

I still love it, every day. I get up and I love going to work. I love seeing it all happen, and I admire the people that we work with. I just hope that the films will continue to entertain audiences, as they have done for 50 years.

When men change, maybe Bond will change.

Bond Change Men
One would think that it would be very easy, with an iconic character like James Bond, to keep making the films, but it hasn’t been. But, it sure has been entertaining and rewarding.
BARBARA BROCCOLI

Character Keep Thinking
I think Bond the character is distinct: He’s British, he has a certain code that he lives by, he’s incorruptible… he’s a classical hero, but he’s also fallible. He has inner demons, inner conflicts, and he’s a romantic.

The paparazzi terrify and torment people and endanger people and it’s really unpleasant.

And they stuck to their guns and fought for Sean Connery, and they were right to fight for Sean Connery. If it wasn’t for Sean Connery, we wouldn’t all be here. I was raised to fight for what I believed in, so I wasn’t going to give up.
