Timothy Dalton's Quotes

  • On playing a character: You can't relate to a superhero, to a superman, but you can identify with a real man who in times of crisis draws forth some extraordinary quality from within himself and triumphs but only after a struggle. Real courage is knowing what faces you and knowing how to face it.
  • I don't think I've drunk one since I've left the Bond movies. Every bar you go in, there's always some wisecrack, "Oh, yours will be a Martini, shaken, not stirred!" You get sick and tired of that. - on all of the vodka martinis he would get whenever he walked into a bar, while he was playing Bond.
  • I felt as free as a bird. - describing driving down Sunset Boulevard and seeing a billboard that had Sean Connery, Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan on it, but no Timothy Dalton.
  • It's very important to make the man believable so that you can stretch the fantasy. Whether people like this kind of Bond is another question. (on his approach to the role of James Bond)
  • When I saw those posters of Pierce standing there, I suddenly thought to myself, Jesus, I don't have to stand there with a gun to the side of my head anymore! I suddenly found the most tremendous sense of liberation, and I started to feel more like myself than I'd felt in years! I suddenly felt free! (describing his feelings on whether or not in retrospect he made the right decision not to make the James Bond film GoldenEye (1995))

  2. Loves fishing, especially in the Pacific Ocean.
  3. In 1986, he and Sylvester McCoy were performing together with Vanessa Redgrave in a season of Shakespeare at the Theatre Royal, Haymarket. Dalton and McCoy sympathized with each other about the difficulty in finding good long-term acting jobs. A year later, McCoy was cast as the Seventh Doctor in Doctor Who (1963) and Dalton was cast as James Bond in The Living Daylights (1987). Unfortunately, neither proved long-term, as both of these iconic British franchises were cancelled for several years in 1989 and recast when they eventually returned.
  4. He says that his favorite James Bond films are the first three Bond movies: Dr. No (1962), From Russia with Love (1963) and Goldfinger (1964).
  5. According to the James Bond film tailors in London, at 6' 2" he is the tallest of all the Bond actors. The tailors who have fitted and measured each of the 5 Bonds over the years claim the following heights for each of the other Bond actors: Sean Connery 6' 1 1/2" without shoes, George Lazenby 6' 1 1/2" without shoes, Roger Moore 6' 1" without shoes and Pierce Brosnan 6' 1" without shoes.
  6. His partner, Oksana Grigorieva, gave birth to a son, Alexander Dalton, on 7 August 1997 in London, England.
  7. His colder, grittier portrayal of James Bond is considered by many fans of the franchise to be the closest to the characterization of Bond from the original novels by Ian Fleming, but was greeted with a mixed reaction from the general public following twelve years of Roger Moore's much more lighthearted portrayal.
  8. Dalton's Bond was the last to smoke cigarettes.
  9. (1980-1994) Companion of Vanessa Redgrave.
  10. Desmond Llewelyn claimed in an interview of Dalton that his portrayal of James Bond was closer to Ian Fleming's original novel version of the character than any other Bond actor.

  14. Had been approached for the role of James Bond in 1968 when Sean Connery had left the franchise but turned it down as he felt he was too young. He was approached again in 1980 but refused because he did not like the lighthearted direction the film had been going in.

  19. Was originally cast as Benedict in Last Action Hero (1993), but was replaced by Charles Dance. This would have been the second of two times that he would have been in a film with Frank McRae. The first (as it turns out, the only) film was Licence to Kill (1989).
