"It's just all very personal decisions to be made at the moment."
I wonder what he is referring to? Himself or EON?
I wonder if it's eon it's not Daniel but then again no one knows
Is there anywhere to listen to the full interview?
So, as @bondjames stated, I think that has something to do with the talent being queried and DC's possible first right of refusal.
I would say he's very much in play at the moment.
But yes, there is more than meets the eye here, all business, and nothing at all we're privy too, unfortunately!
His lassitude of 007 and the expectation of having a director and a story that would make him change his mind. Nothing is done for Bond 25 and I'm really unsure of seeing Craig again
Indeed, Craig or no Craig..we get a new Bond film in November 2019. Look on the bright side: EON is willing to let the Bond character prevail over the actor playing him. That's what Harry and Cubby did way back then. It also means that EON must have pressed Purvis and Wade massively (financially?) to come up with one hell of a story....and probably a story in two versions: One with Craig, and one without Craig.
I yearn for a return to a film every two years! C'mon fellas, we don't have all the time in the world! :(

That was my initial reaction too. But reading the full quote it seems like he's made up his mind and is keen on returning but doesn't want to jump the gun before it's all set in stone, which would be fair enough. That's what I'm choosing to believe anyway because the alternative (that he still hasn't made a decision after two years) would be a piss take imo and I don't want to believe that's true.
Release dates get swapped and changed all the time after being announced. If he is waiting to see the script or for them to decide on a director before returning, and if he decides not to in the end and that means the script has to be altered or whatever, then I think they'd rather push the film back than have to try and salavage it at the last minute. But then again they apparently kept Brosnan returning as a possibility when they were writing CR, so who knows, Purvis and Wade could be able to do the same again and get something prepared either way. The only thing is, is the situation really that comparable to 2005? I imagine at this point, another Craig film and a film for a new actor would be very different beasts because of the story arc/continuity of his era.
Exactly.
If you think this is good PR you are very much mistaken. The very few people I know that are actually taking any interest in it, are seriously annoyed now.
He will try but things could get awkward and fail
That's a shame for them.

"We REALLY mean it this time, guys. We want you to write us a GOOD story this time. OR ELSE:::"
Not just actors. Go further back, you can find denials that Ben Whishaw was playing Q (said denial being made around the time Whishaw had wrapped up his work on the film), that John Logan had been hired to write Bond 24, etc.
