care rich critics
I'm too rich to care what the critics say.
apology night thinking
There is no excuse, nor should there be any tolerance, for anyone who thinks or expresses any kind of anti-Semitic remark. I want to apologize specifically to everyone in the Jewish community for the vitriolic and harmful words that I said to a law enforcement officer the night I was arrested on a DUI charge.
country years proud
It's great that after 700 years William Wallace has finally had a proper burial. He did so much for the country. You should be proud of what you have achieved through devolution.
order people deities
There has to be some kind of order and some moral code. I don't know how people can function without a belief in a deity.
interesting flying boots
Boot Camp was great and very interesting. You got to use live rounds of ammunition and got to do a lot of crawling around with live rounds flying around you, so you really had to learn to keep your ass down - everything down for that matter.
scary-stories people want
People like scary stories. There's a fascination with fear themes, and we want to face those things in a weird, subconscious way.
war beer hey
Hey, I'm for love, not war. How about we have a beer?
mean kids careers
My family means more to me than the artificial trappings of my career. If ever I had to choose between my career and my family, the wife and kids would definitely come out on top.
clever worry should
One should not worry about the future, particularly if it hasn't happened yet.
dad australia vietnam
But although Australia was also involved in the Vietnam conflict, I can remember my dad telling us that if we were in Australia, we wouldn't be drafted until we were 20.
thinking nuts needs
It's time to sort of get back to a basic message, the message that was given. At this time, the world has gone nuts, I think. And this film speaks -- well, Christ spoke of faith, hope, love and forgiveness. And these are things I think we need to be reminded of again. He forgave as he was tortured and killed. And we could do with a little of that behavior.
secret recipes wonder
Every time you go out there to do something, you wonder if you can do it. There's no assured success. There's no secret recipe for success. Every time you go out there, you go out there with the possibility of great failure.
style acting done
I like going in to different styles of acting and exploring stuff I haven't done before.
thinking talking digital
I think digital will displace film, yes. We're talking about digital as a thing of the future, but I'm afraid that it's here.
