During the interview, Daniel said, ‘I couldn’t do this while doing Bond. This will seem reactionary, like I’m showing my limits.
He explained the reason by saying, “In the beginning with Bond I thought I would have to do other things, but I didn’t. I was becoming a star, whatever that meant, and people wanted to see me in their films. They left me empty-handed. It took me six months to recover emotionally. Should come in a little while, it shook me Gave.”
