"How much do you know about fear?"

Like him, loathe him, or "meh" him, you can't deny the impact Daniel Craig has made on the James Bond series. So much so that it's difficult to imagine Bond without him. Yet his decision to accept the role wasn't a simple 'yes', as he recently explained:

"I knew that it [becoming Bond] would flip it and that there would be no going back to who I was or what I was — either personally or professionally. And that was very, very, very scary. 

 

"It felt like I was risking something — I didn't know what that was, but I was risking something. But the decision I made, at the end of the day, was that if I didn't do it, I would regret it. 

 

I had this joke with a friend that in 20 or 30 years' time, I'd be sitting at a bar in a corner going, 'I could have been Bond, you know!' And that's not the person I wanted to be".
