I like Chekov a lot.

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.

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

I always wanted to do a Western.

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 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.

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

There's always been product placement in Bond movies.

The life of an actor lends itself to emotion, and yet you have to be tough as old boots to stay at the table.

I thought 'Moulin Rouge' was inspirational, and 'Jesus Christ Superstar' I loved.

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.

Intrinsically, I'm the same person I was as a young lad, and I think I still have the optimism of life, still the same wants and desires to be good and great about what I do.

God has been good to me. My faith has been good to me in the moments of deepest suffering, doubt and fear.

You want to believe in leaders, really believe in leaders. You want what they are saying to be truthful, and you want to trust them.

I've been a married man most of my life; that's the way I like it.

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.

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.

The word 'star' doesn't mean an awful lot to me. 'Good actor' and having the respect of one's peers means more.

With such riches as I have in life, you're always nervous. Being Irish, you're waiting for something to knock it sideways.

I'd my own insecurities while portraying the role of James Bond.

Indian cinema is entertaining, and what I love most about it is the songs and dances in the films.

Acting for the Indian audience is surely on my bucket list; it may take some time, though.

If you want to do a female version of 'The Expendables,' I'll be in that one.

James Bond is one of those heroes that all guys feel they could actually be like.

I love George Clooney; I think George is brilliant.

You always bump into politics in life, and as a man, I'm party to a number of environmental issues that concern me first and foremost, as a man, as a father.

I know something about life and being a father and the worries and the fears of bringing up children.

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 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.

Being a widower is not that groovy when you lose someone you really love, and you have to go out and date again.

Certain projects find you at the right time.

I'm not a politician or political animal.

Dealing with death is there forever, really, you know, because we all have to face it.

He's a fantastic actor, Kelsey Grammer. You don't have that kind of career without having a talent, without having something to say and to give to an audience.

I have no desire to look at myself.

I'm a journeyman actor.

Someone like Roman Polanski comes with a lifetime of achievement, cinematically.

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.

That's it. I've said all I've got to say on the world of James Bond.

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.

My mother was the prettiest woman in the town. He was a bit older than her. They made me. And he split.

I don't see myself as the Hunk of the Month.

For me, acting is doing.

Acting allows me to explore new worlds, to discover characters by delving into their lives, and ultimately to become someone else entirely.

There are a lot of funny things that happen in one's life.

We owe it to our children to be better stewards of the environment. The alternative? - a world without whales. It's too terrible to imagine.

I'm an artist, so I love the graphic design of Instagram.

Cancer is the most pernicious, insidious, disgusting disease of life.

I was lucky enough to make four Bond films. It finished in rather shambolic fashion, but I have no bitterness, no resentment.

My family is my sanctuary.
