I was a huge fan of comedy and movies and TV growing up and I was able to memorize and mimic a lot of things not realizing that that meant I probably wanted to be an actor. I just really really amused myself and my friends with memorizing entire George Carlin or Steve Martin albums.
I love all the old classic Disney movies. 'Pinocchio.' There are obviously tons of them that anybody growing up on that stuff takes with them their whole lives and I'm an admirer of a lot of classic animation and fairy tales. I grew up on a book of Grimm's fairy tales that I kind of wore out again and again. That's all stuff that lingers with you.
Most of the movies I saw growing up were viewed as totally disposable fine for quick consumption but they have survived 50 years and are still growing.
There are a lot of movies I've done that come and go and don't really establish a growing fan base.
Growing up I didn't watch movies.
Hollywood is throwing action movies at me.
Put Mickelson and Toms out there. You know they had the morning off. They rested. Knowing them and the competitors that they are they are probably a little angry that they weren't out there in the morning.
For me growing up Christmas time was always the most fantastic exciting time of year and you'd stay up until three in the morning. You'd hear the parents wrapping in the other room but you knew that also maybe they were in collusion with Santa Claus.
On the 28th the ship's company received two months pay in advance and on the following morning we worked out to St. Helen's where we were obliged to anchor.
My first care the following morning was to devise some means of discovering the man in the grey cloak.
The problem with growing up in a cafe was the cafe never closed my parents worked every day of the year from morning to night. So it was a big menagerie of kids business and cooking!
Because my parents growing up they worked hard. Everyone in my family woke up early in the morning. I used to see my mother and my father go off to work and come back and no matter what they had time for the kids.
It's not easy waking up every single morning knowing what you're going to put your body through and having to do it. We don't have days off.
It seems to me madness to wake up in the morning and do something other than paint considering that one may not wake up the following morning.
Sometimes I have wrinkles in the morning. It depends on what kind of night that I had. I accept myself and the way that I am growing older. I have eye bags and some people have proposed to me to take them out but I said no.
I'd hate to be a teetotaler. Imagine getting up in the morning and knowing that's as good as you're going to feel all day.
Making films can be absolutely fantastic but it can also be incredibly dull. You spend the whole day sitting by yourself in your trailer and then you get called to deliver one sentence - then you're told to come back and do it again at 5:30 the following morning.
I have retired but if there's anything that would kill me it is to wake up in the morning not knowing what to do.
If I had been on 'Bowling for Dollars ' I'd wind up owing them money.
I'd never had money growing up and it's never been that important to me except maybe to take our kids on a nice vacation or something like that.
I'm not overly alarmist about it but I do think there are some worrying signs like the growing accumulation of wealth by a very small proportion of the population plus elections in the US are much more dominated by money than anywhere else calling itself a democracy.
I actually think that the economy has got some positives. It's got the market. It's got consumer confidence and it's got banks throwing - I mean central bankers throwing money at it around the world.
False opinions are like false money struck first of all by guilty men and thereafter circulated by honest people who perpetuate the crime without knowing what they are doing.
There are two kinds of power you have to fight. The first is the money and that's just our system. The other is the people close around you knowing when to accept their criticism knowing when to say no.
We believe that according the name 'investors' to institutions that trade actively is like calling someone who repeatedly engages in one-night stands a 'romantic.'
