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.

He has an intensity, and a great voice. He's very fearless, and he's got a good body of work in the cinema already. They wanted to make a shift, play with more character.

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. As an actor, I've got by, I've had employment, I've had the good fortune to be able to work and I just feel blessed. But I do feel I have some bit of talent to create a character or move people, or entertain an audience, and that is very gratifying.

I said 'yes' right away because it meant working with Meryl Streep. Secondly, I saw the show with my family in London, and found it just so wonderfully happy and joyful, and so pitched in time forever in the 1970s. What a kick in the pants, to be able to go off and spend time with Meryl on some Greek island, singing ABBA songs.

I think Daniel is a very fine actor.

I think Daniel is a very fine actor. These are rocky waters and they are going to get him one way or another, but I think he will have the last laugh at the end of it.

I thought. ... I can do anything I want to do now. I'm not beholden to them or anyone. I'm not shackled by some contracted image. So there was a sense of liberation.

I want to have a voice. I want to be able to vote for John Kerry. I found a whole new life and identity in America. But, my heart and soul will forever be Irish.

I was looking forward to making (Bond) edgier and grittier -- and for all of that to go down in one phone call was highly disappointing.
