“Goldfinger was the first of the Bonds where we had enough money.”

“The Bond phenomenon would have been impossible without the literary figure in the first place. He’s a larger-than-life character.”

“Sean was the first and, to my mind, the best Bond.”

“The joy of that film was, for the first time, we had money. And we had a marvelous villain.”

“My theory is that if you're not a little bit scared of a film, you're not taking any risks.”

“I'm not interested in special effects. I'm interested in character.”

“You're a traffic cop. You're trying to keep everybody happy. You're trying to get the best out of your actors.”
