My wife loves Roger Moore.
I had a theatre company years ago when I was a young man, and we would do street theater. This guy did a workshop one day on fire eating, and I participated, and it was just one of those party tricks that you learn. My last endeavor doing that was with the Muppets, back in 1995 or something like that. And I haven't done it since.
I have no desire to look at myself.
It never felt real to me. I never felt I had complete ownership over Bond. Because you'd have these stupid one-liners - which I loathed - and I always felt phony doing them.
There's always been product placement in Bond movies.
I'm not a politician or political animal.
The scripts don't come pouring in; I have to fight for every part.
I realise how precious life is, probably because I've seen how it can be taken away.
My mother was the prettiest woman in the town. He was a bit older than her. They made me. And he split.
I went to a Radiohead concert with Mr. Aaron Paul and became instantly hip. He's a great tweeter and took a photograph of the two of us. He said, 'Man, look at this! We've already got 800 hits in five minutes!' So this old dog became hip.
I have some wonderful suits in my closet, a lovely car, some refined watches.
There was a beautiful church where I lived in Navan, taught by the Christian brothers: fierce, angry men, repressed.
I ride horses, I love horses, I've owned horses.
Some people have a tendency to get knocked down in this business and sulk and whine, and they just create a rod for their back, really. You have to have broad shoulders and get through it.
I thought 'Moulin Rouge' was inspirational, and 'Jesus Christ Superstar' I loved.
Cancer is a very sad thing, but you can always take something from every experience.
My family is my sanctuary.
This man called President Bush has a lot to answer for. I don't know if this man is really taking care of America. This government has been shameful.
When I went to America, I spoke so much about who I was and gave so much away in a confessional, Irish, story-telling way that I suddenly realised I had given up a lot of myself. I had to shut up.
With such riches as I have in life, you're always nervous. Being Irish, you're waiting for something to knock it sideways.
