Daniel Craig on James Bond

Daniel Craig, in an interview with The Red Bulletin:

Q: Bond has actually become a bit more chivalrous in the most recent films, hasn’t he?

A: That’s because we’ve surrounded him with very strong women who have no problem putting him in his place.

Q: And this time you’ve gone one better, showing 007 succumbing to the charms of an older woman.

A: I think you mean the charms of a woman his own age. We’re talking about Monica Bellucci, for heaven’s sake. When someone like that wants to be a Bond girl, you just count yourself lucky!
