“I cannot even remember a time before being conscious of James Bond.” — Barbara Broccoli Quote

“I cannot even remember a time before being conscious of James Bond.”

“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.”

“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.”

“I don't think anyone except the few people who have played James Bond can tell you how strange and special it is and how much your life changes.”

“Obviously I would love it if Sam Mendes rang up tomorrow and said, 'I want you to be the new Bond.'”

“Whatever you say to yourself about it being just another movie, and you're going to do the job you always do, it ends up being a 'Bond' movie and a sense of what it is to put music to James Bond and to honor the music that exists.”
