The Irish actor portrayed 007 in four movies between 1995 and 2002
The 71-year-old actor portrayed 007 in four movies between 1995 and 2002 and would be tempted to reprise the role as the famous spy, although he conceded that it would be better for "fresh blood" to lead the franchise in a new era under Amazon's control.
The Irish star said: "You're looking for something that will emotionally engage you at the beginning of the day, and still at the end of the day's work. You are looking for the exhilaration of the endeavours of being an unexpected surprise. You are looking for something that will emotionally turn you on and hopefully turn the audience on. You are looking for good work that will lead you to other good work.
The actor also described the pleasure he gets from having the freedom to be selective when it comes to taking roles.
