The cruelty of nature is you have to work out harder when you get older ... It should be the other way around: Work out hard when you're a kid you should be able to coast when you get older. But unfortunately you have to do more to stay in the same position.
I still work out on a daily basis.
I just thought, 'Yeah, this gal would be great, if we can get her trained up, if we can get a little bit more bulk on her, to make her look like a fighter,' ... She was like a feather. But what happened is, she had this great work ethic.
When I was born, the economy wasn't in a great state; it was the Depression, and my father had to be quick to try and find work.
I don't think I've met anyone with a stronger work ethic than Ray Charles.
God gave you a brain. Do the best you can with it. And you don't have to be Einstein, but Einstein was mentally tough. He believed what he believed. And he worked out things. And he argued with people who disagreed with him. But I'm sure he didn't call everybody jerks.
I knew Billy Wilder socially and would have loved to work with him.
I liked Vittorio De Sica a lot, and I got to work with him once in a segment movie. He was a great director. He was a very charismatic character and a guy I watched a lot when he was directing.

I know what you're thinking, punk. He just threw three straight split-fingered fastballs at the knees. Does he have any left? Well, to tell you the truth in all the excitement, I kind of lost track myself...
I'm not really a Hollywood person. Not that I don't like L.A., but I'm just a Northern California guy.
I want the troops from Great Britain and the U.S. to be successful, but by the same token, Afghanistan has always been a screw-up.
The U.S. military was segregated 'til the Korean War, and the blacks in World War Two were totally segregated.
This film cost $31 million. With that kind of money I could have invaded some country.
