Pierce Brosnan: 'fame is like a big piece of meringue'
Pierce Brosnan thinks fame is 'like a big piece of meringue' which 'doesn't fill you up'.
He concedes it is also 'beautiful' and you 'keep eating it'.
Brosnan is about to start filming the 20th James Bond adventure and intends to sign up for the next one.
His interview with The Observer continued: "It's good money and it's great fun. A real kick in the pants.
"People wave at you and smile at you. You get great tables in restaurants. They send you gifts - beautiful clothes and cars. Then, it's all a bit hollow because it doesn't really nourish you."
The actor says he's had enough fame and wants to pursue different goals in later life.
He said: "I've had enough fame now. I'm 48 years old and I'm restless. Where do I go in the next 10 years? That's what drives me.
"Can I make more films? Can I make a company where I can own my own library? Would I be able to direct? Do I want to direct?"
He also wishes he hadn't been so honest to the press about his past.
He said: "I just wish I was kind of paler, more enigmatic. The public know about my life. They know about my childhood. They know that I was a widower. They know blah, blah. They know too bloody much!"
