This scent had a freshness, but not the freshness of limes or pomegranates, not the freshness of myrrh or cinnamon bark or curly mint or birch or camphor or pine needles, not that of a May rain or a frosty wind or of well water… and at the same time it had warmth, but not as bergamot, cypress, or musk has, or jasmine or daffodils, not as rosewood has or iris… This scent was a blend of both, of evanescence and substance, not a blend, but a unity, although slight and frail as well, and yet solid and sustaining, like a piece of thin, shimmering silk… and yet again not like silk, but like pastry soaked in honey-sweet milk - and try as he would he couldn’t fit those two together: milk and silk! This scent was inconceivable, indescribable, could not be categorized in any way - it really ought not to exist at all. And yet there it was as plain and splendid as day.

“My favorite actress is Gena Rowlands. I love her in the John Cassavetes film Love Streams. She’s estranged from her daughter, and she’s trying to reunite with her by making her laugh. The scene ends with Rowlands doing a backflip off a diving board. There’s something so heartbreaking about her need to connect. I might watch it again now.”
- Ben Whishaw in Skyfall (Best Performances - W by Juergen Teller, February 2013)

“When he tries to explain the attachment he comes to feel for characters that he is playing, Whishaw becomes uncharacteristically talkative. ‘Characters like Hamlet - and I suspect John Keats will be like that too - just amaze me, they take me over, make me fall in love with them, make me stretch myself and want to be a better, more interesting person than I am. That’s why it feels like such a loss when I lose them, as if I’ve had to let go of their hand.’”
