Pierce Brosnan: he went from Ireland to la-la land to become the very model of a modern major gentleman

Interview, Oct, 2002 by Ingrid Sischy

PB: Oh, yes. You have to have broad shoulders to play the role because you know you're going to be loved by many and sneered at by the few. You're an easy target for people who want to mock it. But ultimately, I'm holding the cards at the end of the day, and I am so proud to have come this far with it. It seems to have been my destiny that I should play this role.

IS: I think so. too. Pierce, tell me what you're looking at right now as you sign off.

PB: I'm looking out at the ocean.

IS: You're about to go on a holiday, so tomorrow you'll be looking at a new ocean, right?

PB: Yes. God willing.

IS: Have a great holiday, Pierce.

PB: Thank you, Ingrid. It was good to talk to you.
