Donna, cool. So don't keep us in suspense, which question was it?
This one! (The one about is he a day or night person):
Q: When left to your own devices ... and on vacation… on your own schedule, are you a day person or a night person? A: Both! I love the days, painting outdoors I natural sunlight… and I love nights, throwing great dinner parties. I don’t like clubs unless it’s an intimate affair
Look for the good, the Divine in people and things ...

Donna you're a lucky girl! I keep asking questions as well but never had an answer ....I keep hoping...
Lots of lovely questions this time: - so he has an ipod now, cool - I'd love to have dinner with him and sharing his meal I love all his choices and I'd taste his crème brulée - he would have loved to work with Tracy....soo sweet....he sometimes mentioned him while speaking of his childhood and his grandad
I'm a bit confused about some things: - he woke up thirsty of water.....what is it OJ?.......orange juice? - Fullum and Craven Cottage teams....I never heard about them....London has a soccer team named Fulham and Fulham's stadium is named Craven Cottage......maybe they are older name for that team?

...and you know what the trick to whole thing is? It's not how many times life knocks you down...it's how many times you make yourself back up.

londonstreet, I would think that by "Fullum" he means Fulham. I guess he was putting on accents again. Have never heard of Craven Cottage myself. My guess is also that OJ means orange juice.
And he does have good taste for food. Yummy!
Barbara, here is the picture you're looking for, as snatched from the "Pic of the Day" section at pb.com:

He probably dictated his answers -- ergo some misspellings and left out words. He probably said "Fulham at Craven Cottage" and it came out "Fullam and".

Such sloppiness in working for the SMA! He should look for a new secretary, then. Someone who would truthfully register every word and wouldn't embarrass him with misspellings. My boss says I'm rather good at that, so I graciously voluteer for the job.
My wife Keely and I have many things to celebrate this Earth Day. Both the California State Lands Commission and the California Coastal Commission voted that a proposal by the largest mining company in the world to build a massive Liquefied Natural Gas terminal off the coast Malibu and Oxnard did not comply with California’s environmental laws or the requirements of The Clean Air Act. Now it’s up to our Governor to veto this project. Our hope is that our “Green Governor” Mr. Arnold Schwarznegger, will put the final nail in their coffin and “Terminate the Terminal” – soon. If you’d like to send our Governor a message to terminate the terminal, please do so by clicking here.
You may have heard that I have been cast in the film version of the popular musical Mamma Mia. The film, which begins principal photography this summer in London and Greece, is being directed by Phyllida Lloyd who also directed the original stage production in 1999. I saw the show in London and New York with my family and found it a joyful experience. Both shows played to packed houses and both casts brought the house down.
I start rehearsals next week with one of America’s most talented and beautiful actresses, Meryl Streep, whose work has always inspired me. I’m looking forward to spending time with the other gifted cast members too, including: Amanda Seyfried, Julie Waters, Christine Baranski, Colin Firth and Stellan Skarsgard singing ABBA songs on a Greek island. All cast members are now in London to pre-record the film’s soundtrack.
Married Life, an ensemble piece, written and directed by Ira Sachs and starring Christopher Cooper, Rachel McAdams and Patricia Clarkson is due for release this fall. The film is a period piece set in Seattle in 1949, and is a story we can all relate to, one of love and marriage, secrets and sorrows.
For anyone who missed Seraphim Falls, an epic action/thriller set against the backdrop of the American Civil War starring Liam Neeson and myself, it will be release on video on May 15th. The film was written and directed by David Von Ancken, and is a visceral study of revenge and the aftermath of war. Shot entirely on location in Taos and Santa Fe, I hope the raw brutality and savage beauty Seraphim Falls will leave you on the edge of your seats.
After completing Mamma Mia, Irish DreamTime will go into production on a sequel to The Thomas Crown Affair. We have been scouting locations in Europe and the Middle East and I’m thrilled to be stepping back into Mr. Crown's shoes.
In celebration of Earth Day, I offer my sincere thanks to all of you who are doing your part to make our world a better place. Below are things my family and I do in our quest to be environmentally conscience.
Stay tuned for more movie news!
Love and only love,
Pierce
1) Eat organic and buy fruits, vegetables, herbs, cheese, eggs, honey and other food products at farmer’s markets which support local farmers and growers.
2) Use eco-friendly products and services. Purchase all-natural, organic household cleaners, recycled paper products, organic cotton, and non-GMO food products. Locate an organic dry cleaner. Hire an eco-friendly gardening or car service.
3) Recycle everything possible, including printer cartridges, paper products, newspaper, plastic, glass, cans, etc... and cut paper consumption by using e-mail.
4) Give back – support individuals and organizations who are doing extraordinary work for our planet. Over the years The Brosnan Trust has distributed more than one million dollars to environmental organizations, schools, activists, and charities.
5) Plant an organic garden or a victory garden– for yourself or a friend and promote green living.
6) Compost kitchen scraps-- from banana peels to coffee grounds, and green waste. Purchase a rotating or stackable composter and start a green waste pile that can be used to fortify your garden naturally.
7) Promote environmental education. We currently fund environmental programs for kindergarten thru grade 12 (Roots and Shoots) in California and helped pass legislation (Senate bill SB254) which requires the state of California to design environmental curriculum for all its students.
8) Donate to off set your emissions (plant trees with Tree people; pay a carbon tax when traveling in environmentally sensitive areas, etc…)
9) Design an eco friendly home that features energy efficient appliances, low flow and/or composting toilets, state of the art solar technology, recycled grey water, reclaimed hardwoods, and non-toxic paint and building materials.
10) Speak up -- use your voice and speak out about important environmental issues (examples over the past 13 years: stopping BHP’s LNG Terminal off the coast of Oxnard and Malibu, Mitsubishi from building a massive salt factory in Lagoon San Ignacio, the US Navy from harming whales with sonar, nuclear testing in the South Pacific, and promoting Dolphin Safe Tuna, supporting the Heritage Tree Bill.)
One person can and does make a difference. What kind of difference do you want to make?

I just thought I would let everyone know that The Official Pierce Brosnan Site has added a new video Pierce did for LiveEarth.org to their main page. Go check it out!

Oooh, thanks Ellen! I clicked on Live Earth -- but don't see where PB's video is. Is it on their site or his?
Could you point out where? I'm obviously very obtuse tonight (I'm blaming the heat) and just can't see anything on his main page for Live Earth but the link on top to Liveearth.org.
If you don't count catching the shark in ATS. Alas I don't recall ever seeing him fishing off screen, as it were.
Like the advert, but, hmmm I don't think it's the only thing that's catching from ATS. Looks like the SMA's been on the Max Burdett diet again. Tsk. But I suppose real fishermen don't worry about abs, do they? <wink>
New letter, no mention of BOAW still and the what he'll do next has been replaced by a vacation. (I hope that TCA2 is still on schedule) Most of the article though is th same except for the intro and close and the news that Married Life is going to Toronto.

Dear Friends,
Summer Greetings.
Hope wherever you are you are taking some time for yourself and enjoying the sunshine.

After completing Mamma Mia, I will be taking a much needed holiday on the Italian Riveria.
