Bond Quote by Ravi Subramanian

“When James Bond presses the watch and the car explodes, the writer doesn't go into the science of it. One should leave it to the leap of faith. I have tried to explain as much as possible, and what I can't, I have left it to people's imagination.” quote by Ravi Subramanian
