I've said it all already, and it's boring.
I've been accused of my publicist of being too confessional... it's probably my Celtic upbringing.
I visit London several times a year. It is my home away from home.
There was a beautiful church where I lived in Navan, taught by the Christian brothers: fierce, angry men, repressed.
This man has a life as a secret agent, ... This man kills people, this man is a widower. This man is sent out on missions to retrieve someone or something -- he could die.
They don't know how to move on, ... A sense of paralysis has set in.
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.
I know something about life and being a father and the worries and the fears of bringing up children.
I hold Bond dear to my heart. I've traveled the world as an ambassador for that character, and I had a bloody great time doing it.
I have some wonderful suits in my closet, a lovely car, some refined watches.
I have said to my agents, 'I want to work. I want to play character roles.'
I have no desire to look at myself.
I found a great woman in Keely Shaye. Not if I searched a million times over would I find one as good.
I enjoy the company of my fellow man and woman, and I do not wish to be sequestered away in any type of bubble.
