I Love Sam Mendes. He's

I Live On The Same Street As My Family, Actually. I Live Across The Road. I'm A Real Family Person!

What Interests Sam Mendes Are Characters And Relationships, And He Was A Genius At Giving You The Freedom To Create The Type Of Character You Want, And Also To Explore And Have Fun With Your Fellow Actors. For Him, Characters And Relationships Are Really The Heartbeat Of The Film, And Then The Action Is The Backdrop. By Developing The Characters, He Makes You Care That Much More About The Action And Going On A Journey With The Characters.

When You Film In Africa, It's Almost Like A Character In And Of Itself Because It Is So Beautiful And Has This Special Magic That I've Never Experienced Anywhere Else. There Is Something So Incredibly Beautiful About The Light.

I Definitely Felt Frightened [on Skyfall], But Never In Danger, Because They Were Always So Careful About Everything. Some Of The Driving, Particularly On That Road Around The Sheer-drop Cliff Was Actually Done By Stunt Driver Ben Collin, Who Is Otherwise Known As The Stig From The Tv Show Pop Gear. He's A Brilliant Drive, Nonetheless, It Was Terrifying To Be Careening Along When A Wrong Turn Would Mean A Thousand-foot Drop And You're Not In Control And You Want To Slow The Car Down.

I Never Ever Thought That I Would Be In A Bond Film, Ever, Which Is Weird Because I Grew Up Loving These Amazing Movies.
