- "I'm a huge fan of the James Bond saga, so I was always very open to the idea. When I was little I watched Mr Connery doing James Bond with my father. Who in the world would think I'd be in one of those movies?" he said.
- Bardem, who has previously won an Oscar for his role in "No Country for Old Men", was even allowed to have an influence on the character as director Sam Mendes was so keen to have him play the part.
- "The script was everything you could expect in James Bond films, and in addition it was a powerful and complex story. Sam had changed the whole dynamic of the baddie role, so Silva is not just a villain in the usual and obvious way," he added.
