If the spectrum turned out to be my last appearance as James Bond, then in the world it would not have changed anything, whereas I myself would have no reason for regrets.

If I left after the "spectrum," from some kind of corner of my consciousness would still be a voice: "It is a pity that I did not make another movie." I have always had a secret calculation about how everything should be. And the "spectrum" did not seem to me the final chord. Now I have a feeling.
