Whishaw had appeared in three films opposite Daniel Craig, so Wonderland asked if he was a friend... “Oh God, I was so young. I don’t know Daniel Craig at all. It’s purely coincidence. I don’t think he would even remember me. We barely exchanged a conversation, particularly on the first film. I think I was about 17 and really, really timid, really shy. I don’t think I spoke to him. I was too frightened…”

"I think a myth in the business is that we all have everything to choose from. We don't. I know I'm not at the top of everybody's list. It's just that you have to own that place. Like Matt Damon used to say, every script that he got, he knew it had Brad Pitt's fingertips all over it...and you know, mine just happened to be Michael Fassbender's, that's okay. [Laughs] No, listen, he's an amazing actor, really truly gifted. That was kind of a joke. Every actor is completely different. But you know, sometimes you might read something and think...I have read things and gone, wow, this is amazing and I've chased it down and knocked on the door and people have said, it's not you Tom, we're thinking of someone different. And my job is to keep knocking on the door and say, let me see if I can change your mind."
