Can't get around the old minimum wage, Mortimer.
One minute you're up half a million in soybeans and the next, boom, your kids don't go to college and they've repossessed your Bentley.
Personally, I liked working for the university. They gave us money and facilities. We didn't have to produce anything. You've never been out of college. You don't know what it's like out there! I've worked in the private sector ... they expect results!
I had the most absurd nightmare. I was poor and no one liked me.
The Right-wingers everywhere take themselves too seriously, whether in the U.S. or the U.K. And, by the way, so does the Left. The Left can take itself a little too seriously as well.
Bill would try anything - and get away with anything. He always looked as if he didn't particularly care, but he cared very much about what he did and how he did it.
I could live on challah bread, the Jewish kosher bread, quite happily.
Have I personally ever seen a ghost? Not one.

When I'm not acting, I'm writing, building an inventory of scripts. Even if they sit on the shelf, I just keep stacking them up.
I think I'm a narcoleptic. I could sleep on a railway track with a train running over me, in-between the rails.
It's possible, if the economics are right, ... When you build a great franchise it can be a lot of fun.
It's cool to come to a town that is an American institution, that's always been a fun place, ... It's just a perfect fit for us to come here.
I don't need fame any more. People are less interested in me in terms of celebrity. I'm happy to see a new generation being the media focus. I'm happy my day is done. It's over.
