Pierce Brosnan says he 'loved' Skyfall

Pierce Brosnan's departure from the role of 007 - from the outside at least - appeared turbulent, to say the least. But from Brosnan's perspective, enough water has gone under the bridge for him to sit back and appreciate what his successor, Daniel Craig, has done with the role.

"I've only seen "Skyfall." I had to," the former 007 told Yahoo. "I was in London doing a film with Toni Collette, so every time I'd walk out my door I'd see Daniel. Every time I'd turn the radio on I'd hear Adele. I said, "OK, no time like the present." There's enough space, time, and water under the bridge to see what this man has done."

"I still want to be good as an actor. That burns passionately in my heart, that the next job will really nail it. I'll really do it to perfection. Bond was a glorious time for me. I have nothing but gratitude for having played such a role. And Daniel is magnificent."
