As far as those events are concerned, I would not even start to justify myself.... What I did was wrong and I don't see why I should go back to this for the purposes of this trial.... I made one mistake, and I am still suffering for that.
They see me working ... but the result of my work escaped them,
Human life is just a given series, an endless series of such moments,
I had to go through it, ... I never had a doubt that I would win. Because the truth always wins, sooner or later.
I think that something is happening definitely in Korea that is worth watching.
the worst thing ever written about me. It is obvious that it's not true. I don't think you could find a man who could behave in such a way. But I think it was particularly hurtful as it dishonors my memory of Sharon.

There's no other place in the world where ... we could build a 19th-century London and shoot in it for months.

The torches ran off, and I found myself in a forest, at night, without any light, on skis, and that was not fun - particularly because I was drunk. Luckily at some point I started to see the light of the ski lift. To be in the forest in the middle of the night, it's terrible.

Happy endings make me puke.
