Understanding this quote
The speaker is not rejecting the James Bond role itself. The objection is to being limited to that one kind of part. In other words, playing Bond was acceptable, but doing only Bond-like work would have been too narrow. The emphasis on “JUST” makes the difference between accepting one role and being defined entirely by it.
