"Producer Cubby Broccoli will tell you that I was a failure and difficult to work with. Unfortunately, he told a lot of people that and it meant that it was impossible to get employment." "I didn't have a job, I had two kids, I was married, and I was broke." - describing the outcome of his decision not to continue playing James Bond. "I'm looking forward to the broads and the bread." - his answer when asked why he wanted to be James Bond. "I look back and think 'How did that happen?' I had no idea where I was going when I got into the Bond film. When I became famous I didn't know how to handle it, so it almost drove me crazy. In retrospect you can only blame yourself. I'd loved to have had that time over again and done another one or two (Bond films), it would have worked out great for me." "Fame is short-lived and you're the last to know when you are no longer hot. I used to be able to stroll into London clubs like Tramp. But one day I turned up and the doorman blocked my way. Suddenly I was no longer Bond, I was just plain old George Lazenby, and that didn't even give me license to get into a club." [Describing the James Bond character]: "He was a ruthless bastard, really." "If Brosnan walked into a room, I doubt anyone would look up. But this is the Nineties and women want a different man, a man who shows his feminine side. Pierce definitely has that." - On GoldenEye
