"Sexiness, particularly in movies, is the chess game in the 'Thomas Crown Affair'. It's, it's, I don't know, but Faye Dunaway comes up a lot in that thinking. It's the subtlety of sexiness. The moment you try to be sexy, then it's not"

About this Quote

This quote by Daniel Craig talks to the concept that sexiness is not something that can be forced or contrived. It is something that is subtle and must be earned.

Craig suggests that when someone tries too tough to be hot, it can come off as inauthentic and can in fact have the opposite result.
