Pierce Brosnan Quotes:
  • Upon hearing rumors that Britney Spears was interested in Bond-girl status: "Bless her cotton socks and good luck to her."
  • "I don't know where we go [after death], but [Cassie's] spirit's with me through all of this. It makes you want to get it right. For her memory, and for the kids too."
  • "Our marriage (to Cassandra Harris) gives me a stability that makes me feel I can tackel the world"
  • "Cassie (his late wife) has made me the man I am, the actor I am, the father I am. She's forever embedded in every fiber of my being."
  • "These love scenes always sound so seductive and lovely and here you are with this beautiful woman, rolling around in the sack, so to speak, and then you have this director under sheets with you, trying to get the shot. If that's not enough, there's also cameras on either side of you." (about his love scene with Berry in DIE ANOTHER DAY).
  • "I was touched by the Tibetan people and the culture which is surviving under great duress. It is a vocational school for young men which teaches them a variety of practical skills such as metalwork, so they can make and sell products that people need."
  • “From ‘86 until the summer of last year, wherever I went, people would say, “You would have made a great James Bond! Weren’t you going to be James Bond? You should have been, you could have been, you may have been.” Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. It was like unfinished business in my life. I couldn’t say no to it this time around.”
