What Timothy Dalton has done for a first time

  • In the Charlie's Angels (1976) episode "Fallen Angel", Dalton's character, Damien Roth, is referred to as being like James Bond, which was 8 years before Dalton's first Bond outing.
  • He says that his favorite James Bond films are the first three Bond movies: Dr. No (1962), From Russia with Love (1963) and Goldfinger (1964) largely because they are the closest to the books they're based on.
  • He is the first EON James Bond actor not to have Bernard Lee as his boss M (who died in 1981, six years before Dalton's first outing) or Lois Maxwell as Miss Moneypenny.

Timothy Dalton's quotes

  • I felt as free as a bird. - describing driving down Sunset Boulevard and seeing a billboard that had Sean Connery, Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan on it, but no Timothy Dalton.
  • It's very important to make the man believable so that you can stretch the fantasy. Whether people like this kind of Bond is another question. (on his approach to the role of James Bond)
  • Roger Moore was brilliant but the movies had gone a long way from their roots; they had drifted in a way that was chalk and cheese to Sean. And I think Daniel Craig will work well. I think he's going to be terrific, he's got danger and vulnerability.
  • I think most people thought it was a pity I wasn't allowed to grapple so much with the ladies. And he wasn't allowed to smoke; I think I managed to get a few puffs in, which they then cut out.
  • [on GoldenEye (1995)] I was supposed to make one more but it was cancelled because MGM and the film's producers got into a lawsuit which lasted for five years. After that, I didn't want to do it anymore.
  • Richard Burton was Welsh; Tom Jones is Welsh, and we Welshmen like to think of ourselves as heroes - on screen and off!
