(on Errol Flynn) Flynn was a magnificent specimen of the rampant male. Outrageously good looking, he was a great natural athlete who played tennis with Donald Budge and boxed with "Mushy" Calahan. The extras, among whom I had many friends, disliked him intensely.
- David NivenTo me, the Bond situations are so ridiculous, so outrageous. I mean, this man is supposed to be a spy and yet, everybody knows he`s a spy. Every bartender in the world offers him martinis that are shaken, not stirred. What kind of serious spy is recognized everywhere he goes? It`s outrageous. So you have to treat the humor outrageously as well. My personality is entirely different than previous Bonds. I`m not that cold-blooded killer type. Which is why I play it mostly for laughs.
