The 44-year-old, who is gearing up for the release of his third Bond movie "Skyfall", said he is very aware that the cameras are on him at all times, reported Daily Mail.

"You talk to people in the movie business who have been doing this 40 years and they all say the difference is that, back in the day, you could go and have a drink in the bar, get drunk, fall over, have a good time, relax, whatever, and no one would know about it.

"But now everyone's got a camera. Not that all I want to do is get drunk in a bar, but that's an example. So you can't live a normal life anymore. Because it will become public knowledge that you've whatever - gotten drunk in a bar or skinny-dipped on a beach or something," Craig said.

The actor also talked about the iconic role and the constant comparison to former Bond actors that comes with it.

"What I'm doing is not what Pierce (Brosnan) was doing, and Pierce wasn't doing what Roger Moore was doing, or what Sean (Connery) was doing, or what Timothy (Dalton) was doing.

"Things have changed. It's just kind of the ride of it. Pierce used to say that it's like being responsible for a small country. It's kind of like you have to look after it diplomatically."
