Since James Bond and SKYFALL is still in theatres, I have dug out this interview with Roger Moore at the CNN website. Roger Moore speaks here very slowly and clearly, so it's a perfect video to practice your listening skills even at lower levels.
First watch the interview on your own and later you can take a look at the transcript I prepared.
Transcript
Roger: Obviously Daniel Craig and with the combination of tremendous direction and wonderful supporting cast, great villain and you know... I've said quite often that Sean Connery was the killer and I was the lover, but I think, now that I've seen Daniel Craig I think that Daniel Craig is the real killer. He's also vulnerable. Daniel Craig plays Bond with steely determination. He's such a damn good athlete and looks magnificent. I could've never done that scene comming out of the water in my trunks, couldn't hold my stomach in from comming off.
tremendous direction- wspaniała reżyseria
cast- obsada

Interviewer: How difficult was it Roger to make the character your own?
Roger: Not that difficult because I was going to play it exactly as I play anything else. So me looking (...) which is where the acting comes in.
Interviewer: I've got some quick fire questions for you. I want the first sort of word or phrase that comes into your mind. Let's kick off.
Roger Moore as James Bond |
quick fire questions- szybkie pytania
comes into your mind - przychodzi Ci do głowy
Let's kick off- Zaczynamy!
Interviewer: Favourite Bond girl?
Roger: My wife Christina.
Interviewer: Favourite Bond gadget?
Roger: Well, I'll jokingly say- the magnetic watch which unzipped Madeline Smith's dress, which actually was a prop man pulling a wire underneath her dress. He kept his eyes shot he said.
unzipped - rozpiął zamek
a prop man- rekwizytor

Javier Bardem as agent Silva |
Interviewer: Best Bond villain or henchman? You've already alluded to Javier Bardem. How does he stack up?
henchman- poplecznik
stack up- plasować się
Roger: Well, he's brilliant and I think rather fascinating. The characterisation. He's given the villain. He's entirely different.
Interviewer: Have you got a favourite Bond line?
Roger: "Sit!!!" to the tiger when it leaps out of the bushes at me and ... Octopussy.
leaps out of the bushes- wyskakuje z krzaków
Interviewer: Which Bond gadget do you wish you had had?
Roger: Well, none that I would use actually, apart from the wet bike which was great fun but certainly a car that you could drive under water.
Interviewer: When you do look back on your career as James Bond, if you had one thought or reflection, what would it be?
look back on- wspominać
Roger: I could have done it better. But that's the ego of actors, you know you always think you could do it better.
I could have done it better- mogłem to zrobić lepiej
Interviewer: We don't think you could have done. You are? Tell me!
Roger: Bond. James Bond.
Interviewer: Thank you Sir.
