I paint landscapes, figuratives. I painted all my life. In fact, I started as a commercial artist.
If you want to do a female version of 'The Expendables,' I'll be in that one.
I don't know if this man is really taking care of America.
I'm first and foremost an Irishman, by birth, by nature, by soul, but an American citizen through and through as well.
I love George Clooney; I think George is brilliant.
I'm very confident that Nick Hornby always gets it right as a writer. He has the vernacular and passion. He is adroit and dry, and balances humor with the humanity of life.
In 1981, I borrowed 2,000 pounds - a lot of money back then - paid 50 quid for a seat, packed my own sandwich, and hopped on a plane to America. It was a mighty leap, but one that paid off. A week later, I got a job called 'Remington Steele.'
I am a sick, pathetic, immoral, alcoholic, sexually perverse, lost man, who is having a crisis of confidence in Mexico City.
I'd love to do 'The Expendables.' It's just a kick in the pants.
I'd my own insecurities while portraying the role of James Bond.
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.
If I hadn't been an actor, I probably would have been a social worker.
If I knew I could never come back to Ireland, to England, I think I'd fall off the tree.
Daniel Craig is brilliant as Bond: there is no question about that. But it's a different Bond. It's the cross pollination of 'The Bourne Identity' and 'James Bond;' that kind of style of filmmaking.
