There's always been product placement in Bond movies.

I visit London several times a year. It is my home away from home.

I love New York City. The energy, the theatre, the art, the food, the people, the parks and streets. But I could say the same of London or Paris, too.

Clive Owen would be a fantastic James Bond. Any man who does it will have to weigh his odds - whether he can get in and get out.

I always wanted to do a Western.

Movies are somewhat diminished by blockbusters, which are great, but there's not enough choice.

Barbara Broccoli was a great friend of my late wife's and continues to be someone who is very gracious with me, my family, and our life.

I like Chekov a lot.

My life started on the banks of the Boyne in County Meath. Navan is the name of the town; only me, Mom, Dad.

There was a beautiful church where I lived in Navan, taught by the Christian brothers: fierce, angry men, repressed.

My mother gave me boxing gloves; I wanted boxing gloves. I liked to box. So I still have them. They're still in my bookcase, very old, tattered, and they were cherished.

I can still run in a straight line, and I can still throw a punch.

I will forever be a Bond. It's a small group of men who've made this role. Someone said, More men have walked on the moon than have played James Bond.'

I always keep thinking, 'The next role - that's going to be the one that's really going to define me and show them all. I'll transform and disappear, and it will be a revelation.'

There will be time enough some day to work less.

I love the finer things.

The forties are very cool and very pastoral. The fifties look like they're pastoral, and then you get a bit more turbulence.

Being a father is a huge responsibility but a satisfying one.

I try to be as disciplined as I possibly can. I try to live a fairly kind of clean life. I do yoga; I cycle and do weights and swim. I do whatever it takes.

I went and met with Tim Burton for the role of Batman. But I just couldn't really take it seriously; any man who wears his underpants outside his pants just cannot be taken seriously.

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 ride horses, I love horses, I've owned horses.

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

When people don't believe in you, you have to believe in yourself.
