“I don't think they'll ever make a retro Bond.” — William Boyd Quote

“I don't think they'll ever make a retro Bond.”

“I let people off the hook too easily.”

“In some ways, you could argue, television is doing far more interesting work than the movies. It's more fulfilling.”

“I started my career wanting to make a 'James Bond' movie, and I couldn't get hired! I made 'The Bourne Identity,' and ultimately the impact of that film was that it changed the 'James Bond' franchise.”

“Ask Bond-watchers of a certain age about the six actors who have slipped into Bond's Savile Row suits in the Broccoli franchise, and they might say it's really Connery and five other guys - since he, being first and being Sean, stamped the role with his sulfurous masculinity.”

“Sometimes James Bond movies drive me crazy. They're fun to watch, but they don't have anything to do at all with what intelligence officers really do.”
