Daniel Craig's quotes

I go through life thinking it's all going to end tomorrow.
I don't believe in self-promotion, really I can't be arsed.
[on the backlash from Bond fans] I didn't expect this backlash. You take it in, you can't help it. I've been trying to give 110% since the beginning, but after all the fuss, maybe I started giving 115%.
[interview in Entertainment Weekly magazine] If I went onto the Internet and started looking at what some people were saying about me - which, sadly, I have done - it would drive me insane.
[interview in Entertainment Weekly magazine] They [diehard James Bond fans] hate me. They don't think I'm right for the role. It's as simple as that. They're passionate about it, which I understand, but I do wish they'd reserve judgment.
[on preparing for his second James Bond performance] Last time I did a lot of weights to bulk up. This time I'll do more running. I won't be as "no-neck". But when this guy takes his shirt off, he should look like he could kill someone.
I always wanted to be an actor. I had the arrogance to believe I couldn't be anything else.
Method actors suggest that you do sense memory exercises every time you do a scene. I use every method I can. Whatever works, I'll use.
Well, competition is so important, even when you're an artist. And if you deny that there's competition, then you're a liar. That's what gives you your ambition.
[on first hearing he had the role of James Bond) When [Bond producer Barbara Broccoli] rang me to tell me I'd got the part, I was buying dishwashing tablets in Whole Foods. I promptly dropped them and went and bought a bottle of vodka!
[remarking on an injury he sustained on the set of Quantum of Solace (2008)] I lost my fingerprint, so now I can go out and commit all sorts of crimes.
[on the delayed sequel to Quantum of Solace (2008)] The new Bond movie is on hold but I am champing at the bit to get going on it as quickly as possible. I love playing Bond - I don't want to be away from it for too long.
This is what I do for a living. If I don't take on challenges like this, then what's the point?
[on the character of James Bond] Let's not forget that he's actually a misogynist. A lot of women are drawn to him chiefly because he embodies a certain kind of danger and never sticks around for too long.
[on whether he would return for a fifth Bond movie] As far as I'm concerned, I've got the best job in the world. I'll keep doing it as long as I still get a kick out of it. [October 2016]
[on why he said he would rather slash his wrists than play James Bond again] It was the day after filming ended on Spectre (2015). I'd been away from home for a year. [October 2016]
[on whether or not continue to play James Bond] I were to stop doing it, I would miss it terribly. [October 2016]
[on whether to continue to portraying James Bond after Spectre (2015)] I'd rather break this glass and slash my wrists. No, not at the moment. Not at all. That's fine. I'm over it at the moment. We're done. All I want to do is move on.
[about On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969)] It's one of the best movies, because it had a love story. And what is life without love?
