The only thing I see here with the celebrities is that they do go overseas, like Pierce Brosnan - who's not even an American citizen, he's an Irishman, unfortunately - and they present a perception of America that's flat-out not true. For that they should be chastised.
America, which leads the world in so many ways, can end childhood hunger within its borders.
Many people think that hunger is unavoidable in any society, even a society that is blessed with great abundance. That is not true. The European community does not have widespread hunger. America, which leads the world in so many ways, can end childhood hunger within its borders.
This man called President Bush has a lot to answer for. I don't know if this man is really taking care of America. This government has been shameful.
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.'
Once I found acting and found that I could get away with it and make a living out of it, I was thrilled.
I'm first and foremost an Irishman, by birth, by nature, by soul, but an American citizen through and through as well.
I'm pretty tried-and-tested in the world of 'suit acting.'
I live a pretty domestic and normal life. I make my kids breakfast most mornings, but nothing too elaborate - soft-boiled eggs and oatmeal.
I've had my face sliced open one day. Stunt man went one way, and I went the same way and had a few stitches.
I try to be as disciplined as I possibly can. I try to live a fairly kind of clean life. I do yoga; I cycle and do weights and swim. I do whatever it takes.
Turning 60 had an impact on my heart and soul, I must say, because you're dealing with time: past, present, and future. You suddenly realize you've come down the road quite a ways.
