Zitat des Tages von Pierce Brosnan:
I always see myself as a character actor, but Remington Steele was me. I gave up on trying to be any character. I just put myself as me in this world of Remington Steele and the grand pretender.
I don't see myself as the Hunk of the Month.
I'm first and foremost an Irishman, by birth, by nature, by soul, but an American citizen through and through as well.
I was aware that I was not getting the good acting roles because I was either too handsome, too pretty or whatever. I was being judged in ways that left me nowhere to go. You have to be patient.
Dealing with death is there forever, really, you know, because we all have to face it.
I'd love to do 'The Expendables.' It's just a kick in the pants.
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.
I like playing thieves.
I left school at 15 feeling fairly useless and not really up to scratch in my education. And I still suffer sometimes from that lack of education.
I've had my face sliced open one day. Stunt man went one way, and I went the same way and had a few stitches.
I love the intimacy and the passion and the danger that go into independent filmmaking. Because it comes out of a creative necessity. It comes from people who really want to make a movie and want to make a difference and want to grab an audience by the gullet and show them something different.
Together we are stronger, our voices louder, and the synergy of our actions more powerful. Together we can prevail on the Navy to put commonsense safeguards in place, like requiring its ships to avoid the most sensitive marine mammal habitats and to stop their training exercises during peak migrations.
I think Indian women are very beautiful. They have a sense of elegance and innocence.
When people don't believe in you, you have to believe in yourself.
I love the finer things.
The Danes and the Irish have a great simpatico, that's for sure.
I love George Clooney; I think George is brilliant.
My family is my sanctuary.
If I got into a fight in a bar, I'd miss the dude by miles. I wouldn't know how to connect. It would be a comedy.
I use so much of myself in everything I do. I think every actor does because you have no one else to go to but yourself and your own imagination.
I realise how precious life is, probably because I've seen how it can be taken away.
I ride horses, I love horses, I've owned horses.
My mother was the prettiest woman in the town. He was a bit older than her. They made me. And he split.
I think if Roman Polanski had asked me to do the phone book, I would have said, 'Yes.'
There will be time enough some day to work less.
As you get older, there's a loosening of the ties to the ego and the posturing of who you are and how you behave.
There's nothing like working with the best actors possible, and if you have a piece of material like, 'Long Way Down' or 'Love Punch,' which allows you to play, then it's just a joy to go to work.
Cancer is the most pernicious, insidious, disgusting disease of life.
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 am the actor that I am. I do what I do. I've been a 'leading man' playing romantic leads for a long time now.
I found a great woman in Keely Shaye. Not if I searched a million times over would I find one as good.
A man becomes what he dreams. And I dreamed of being in the movies. I was brought up on Steve McQueen, Clint Eastwood, Warren Beatty, and Cary Grant.
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.
People should be allowed to marry, and gay marriage should be out there. If a man or a woman has a good partner and they love each other with their heart and soul, let them marry. I am very much for gay marriage.
I was trained as an actor and taught to believe at a very young age that I could be anything and do anything, and then you find yourself painted into a corner by your own image or persona.
Fame is like a big piece of meringue - it's beautiful, and you keep eating it, but it doesn't really fill you up.
