hate luxury car
The greatest luxury is not driving. I didn't own a car until I was 30, and that was a Rolls-Royce, so it was cheaper to insure a chauffeur. I never want to drive again. My mind is always on other things. I hate parking, and I'm very short-tempered and would get road rage, I'm sure.
getting-older opinion enough
In my opinion, everybody is getting older and older. We have a great deal of dementia because nobody grew old enough to get it.
alternatives growing considering
To me, growing old is great. It's the very best thing - considering the alternative.
soldier poor backgrounds
I come from the slums; I come from a hard background; I come from a poor family; and I was a soldier.
disrespect acting matter
No matter what the reason, if you start to scream and shout, you look a fool, and you feel a fool, and you earn the disrespect of everyone.
crush depressing dark
Some men just want to watch the world burn
careers awards firsts
Oh, what a shock. My career must be slipping. This is the first time I've been available to pick up an award.
bigs blockbuster
I'd never been in one of those great big blockbusters.
next obsessed
I'm doing the next Batman. I have to become obsessed about what is offered to me.
promise grandfather world
I'm the happiest grandfather in the world, I promise you.
wine red drink
I'm very, very family oriented. I'm a big cook and a good connoisseur and I only drink very good red wines now.
afterlife
I'm hoping there's an afterlife. As you get older, you hope even more fervently.
comprehension humans brokenness
To allow myself to be loved by God in my deepest brokenness is to experience a love that defies human comprehension.
jesus real father
One of the most important lessons the Lord has taught me is that you are not your gift. That is, you are not defined by what you do or create. Jesus is a wonderful example of this. He would not allow the crowd to define Him by His considerable gifts, even though they tried to do so. Jesus always points away from Himself and His gifts and thereby wins praise for the Father. We are not our gifts. We are called to give more. Like Jesus, we are called to give ourselves. That is the real purpose behind our gifts; they are vehicles for giving the self.
