I thought 'Moulin Rouge' was inspirational, and 'Jesus Christ Superstar' I loved.
The forties are very cool and very pastoral. The fifties look like they're pastoral, and then you get a bit more turbulence.
With such riches as I have in life, you're always nervous. Being Irish, you're waiting for something to knock it sideways.
The word 'star' doesn't mean an awful lot to me. 'Good actor' and having the respect of one's peers means more.
You get tangled up in your own ego of how you're perceived. You can lose your way.
Some people think my singing is superb. But they're mainly on strong medication and not allowed out much.
I was lucky enough to make four Bond films. It finished in rather shambolic fashion, but I have no bitterness, no resentment.
I think Indian women are very beautiful. They have a sense of elegance and innocence.
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.
It always helps to have a bit of prayer in your back pocket. At the end of the day, you have to have something, and for me, that is God, Jesus, my Catholic upbringing, my faith.
Action films can be like watching paint dry. You can just die in the trailer waiting for them to set up a shot, then you go out for a few minutes or an hour of endurance testing.
Be good to people, be kind to people, show up, read the lines, hit the mark, and go home.
I'm an artist, so I love the graphic design of Instagram.
I love the ukulele. It's got a beautiful, melodic tone to it. There's something innocent and romantic, and it's just a grand instrument to play.
