About Barbara Broccoli: Barbara D. Broccoli is an American film producer known for her work on the James Bond film series.
Every 20 minutes you've got to have a bump, you've got to have a change in course, you've got to unsettle the audience. It can't be too predictable so something has to happen. I think that was something that Hitchcock did very well too. You couldn't ...
When men change, maybe Bond will change. But let's wait. I'm not holding my breath.
I cannot even remember a time before being conscious of James Bond.
I think Bond the character is distinct: He's British, he has a certain code that he lives by, he's incorruptible... he's a classical hero, but he's also fallible. He has inner demons, inner conflicts, and he's a romantic.
Bad movies are when people go, 'oh, I wasted $10 bucks and 2 hours and I don't even want to go back again.'
The world is still sexist.
Never give up, have the passion. Don't be afraid.
Most people don't really understand what it takes to get a film made, and the struggles .I think anyone who makes a film goes through their own set of struggles.
People go to extraordinary lengths to get films made.
One would think that it would be very easy, with an iconic character like James Bond, to keep making the films, but it hasn't been. But, it sure has been entertaining and rewarding.
All I can say is that I had an extraordinary childhood.
There's a lot of instant spotlight and pressure when it comes to a Bond song.
I guess the reality is, everybody today has so many gadgets.
The paparazzi terrify and torment people and endanger people and it's really unpleasant.
So as I was growing up, my father was always in the middle of making a film or preparing a film. It was a full-time, all-consuming type of operation.
