Pierce Brosnan Biography

On himself:

“I don’t see myself as Hunk Of The Month.”

“I had to make a living, I had the mortgage to pay. You know your worth as an actor, but you have to get a job.”

On 007:

“I think that all the films I’ve ever made are personal, even James Bond, because it’s so much of myself, so much of who I am as a man, and as an actor.”

“Bond is an enigma. He smooth and bigger than life, but he’s vague as a personality. Look, I’m thankful, the role made me an international star.”

“There was only one Bond for M, and it was Sean Connery. That made the role daunting.”

“It never made it into the papers, but I’ve had my face sliced open by a stuntman and a knee injury. But it’s all part and parcel of being Bond.”

“Getting the part of Bond and playing the part of Bond was a blessing and a curse, which I think Sean Connery has spoken about, and I’m sure Daniel Craig is just getting the full taste of right now. So, you know, one can really only look at the blessings in life.”

Others:

“When I found acting, or when acting found me, it was a liberation. It was a stepping stone into another life.”

“You have to invest yourself in every role that you portray.”

“To my eye, women get sexier around 35. They know a thing or two, and knowledge is always alluring.”
