British actor Daniel Craig insisted he's happy being called a sex symbol though the status isn't relevant in his life.

Being called a sex symbol, Daniel Craig insisted he'll never cash in on the status. The actor, who plays James Bond in new movie "Quantum of Solace", said his girlfriend has everything he looks for in a woman.

Daniel is currently dating film producer Satsuki Mitchell. He insisted their romantic relationship is perfect, saying "She has everything I truly look for. I really love intelligence. I want beauty and I want goodness - I want it all, basically!"

"I also want someone who is going to challenge me. And in return I hope I'm going to challenge them," the 40-year-old actor continued. But Daniel feels "touched" being called a sex symbol though it's not relevant in his life. "I'm very touched by being called a sex symbol. It's very nice but I have a sense of humor about it," he said.

"On the one hand it's very flattering but on the other it doesn't have much relevance in my life. I live with somebody, so all my energy goes into our relationship," the British actor explained. "When I have to take my shirt off for the film I don't feel particularly comfortable with it. Obviously, it's nice to be fit and in good shape but it's a by-product of the script - it's not something where I'm always looking to unbutton my shirt."
