When my mother died, it sort of put a damper on things. My career didn't have the same significance or excitement. It had always been about doing well for my family - my brothers, sisters, father, mother. Then something interesting and important happened - I started doing things for me.
Yesterday we left the house, kissed the kids goodbye, then we went into the back yard, got in a jet and flew to London. That was pretty cool,
it blew me away. We hit every note the reader loved, almost by survey.
I would love to do that, ... We're planning on doing that in the near future, perhaps later this year.
What if you built a carport, but for a plane, and with a Frank Lloyd Wright feel?
When I first started making films like 'Saturday Night Fever' and 'Urban Cowboy,' those were accidents as far as social impact is concerned and we didn't know what we were doing as far as the effects they would have. But when you make decisions like 'Primary Colors' or 'A Civil Action,' those are bolder and kind of dangerous in a way because you can't be guaranteed that anyone will come to them. I really can't do it without you (the film critics) because these kind of films don't survive out there without your acknowledgment. We have to be a team here, otherwise we can't survive very well.
We've been friends for 28 or 29 years and we have always been there for each other no matter what. Thick or thin.
When I was a kid in the 60s, believe it or not, most of you are younger and don't know that, but it was a blast to fly! You dressed up, you got in your Sunday best, women wore white gloves, you had room to stretch your legs out, you had a very nice meal, the stewardess paid particular attention to you. It was an event. It's so different today.
I have my Qantas wings, I'm very proud of that,
I felt marvelous about that because she's equally wanting to see others thrive because that's real love. You know real love, if you boil down to the bottom line is: the desire to see someone survive and thrive.
I grew up with these kind of men.
Every move he makes is a selling shot. I was overwhelmed.
When I say 'yes' to a movie it's usually because, to a greater or lesser extent, it's because I'm enthusiastic about the character. How well that character ultimately comes off depends on a lot of things: your relationship with the director and so on. But at first, you're on board because you think you can do something with it.
My kids probably stay up too late. My wife goes to bed around 3 A.M., and I follow around 7 A.M., but it works.
