007-type film. a great article i read about you in the guardian. should daniel craig decide to move on, you would be a great bond. >> i wanted to break daniel's legs for years. give me a better chance to get in there. no, i mean, it's very difficult to sort of follow someone's footsteps and daniel craig is a phenomenal actor. i think he's brought bond into a state of credibility. it got goofy at times. but he's fantastic. i'm not trying to do anything that is wrong, if they ever asked me, i grew up on james bond, it's part of my culture. i do a lot of action movies. so, it doesn't seem too far out of my reach. >> you can do action. but the comedic chops are there. will we see more comedy in the future for you? >> you know it's like a good meal.
