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.

More quotes by Pierce Brosnan
I love movies. I adore movies. I grew up on Steve McQueen and Clint Eastwood and Warren Beatty. The list goes on. Spencer Tracy. I wanted to be in movies.
Pierce Brosnan
From '86 until the summer of last year, wherever I went, people would say, You would have made a great James Bond! Weren't you going to be James Bond? You should have been, you could have been, you may have been. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. It was like unfinished business in my life. I couldn't say no to it this time around.
Pierce Brosnan
For me, acting is doing.

Being with my wife and children in Kauai, seeing old friends there, being on the beach, painting, paddleboarding. Sitting under a Kauai moon with a bonfire going, buddies around. Those are the things that kind of make my world turn.

I'm Irish, for gods sake. I'm a romantic.

It will be very hard to get out of Bond. It will be the pictures I do between Bonds that will color my career, that will give my career longevity after this franchise is over ... I will be stamped with this character for life.

Dark comedy is very difficult. You have to bring the audience in and push them away at the same time.

America gave me the great glory of coming into people's homes every week and allowed me to last as long as I have.

Love is a lot like dancing you just surrender to the music.

The Bond was so big and mighty in my career, and it is the gift that just keeps giving. I wouldn't be here today talking about The November Man if it hadn't been for James Bond. So, there was a desire, a want, and a need to make this film, The November Man. I loved the title. It has a sensuality and a mystique to it.
Pierce Brosnan
I paint in oils, I paint in acrylics. I paint figurative and landscape portraits. It's all in my own kind of style. I'm self-taught.
Pierce Brosnan
It felt after the Bonds, after my four outings as James Bond, there seemed to be unfinished business. And the way that the Bond finished in my life and the demise of Bond going off stage left into the night, it seemed like there was a certain void there, as they say, of unfinished business.
Pierce Brosnan
Everyone can make a real difference. Your voice is needed in a global movement that can change their world.
Pierce Brosnan
Sometimes you take time off, and then you look around and you go, Hello. What happened? Oh dear!
Pierce Brosnan
I think you make the best with what you've got, you know? Sometimes you have very little. And you just always try to rise to higher ground, because you're going to suffer one way or the other, so you just hope that you have strength and perseverance and good friends and faith, some kind of faith, to endure and move on to greener pastures.
Pierce Brosnan
When I found acting, it was my saving grace - still is. That I get paid to do it is remarkable. That I get to meet people like Salma Hayek - one of the most beautiful women I know, with the most magnificent energy - is phenomenal.

The violence and sexuality on TV today is exhilarating. You can explore every aspect of society. People's sexual orientations, the violence that goes within that... there are no holds barred.
Pierce Brosnan
Acting allows me to explore new worlds, to discover characters by delving into their lives, and ultimately to become someone else entirely.
Pierce Brosnan
I had to make a living. I had the mortgage to pay, I had the school fees to pay. I had bread and butter to put on the table. You know your worth as an actor, but you have to get a job.
Pierce Brosnan
America, which leads the world in so many ways, can end childhood hunger within its borders.
