brother spring father
My family moved - first to Washington, D.C., and then, in the spring of 1975, to Lebanon, where my father worked as a diplomat at the American embassy. My parents were enthusiastic about the move, so my older brother and I felt like we were off to some place kind of cool.
crazy character giving
I do give a great deal of forethought and zone in on character and all sorts of things like that. Never before have I just stuffed something away in the back cupboard of my brain because it was just such a crazy concept.
kids class quiet
I was just a quiet kid, really. I wasn't the class clown at all.
jobs believe rap
There is a gambling element to being somebody who is going to take on the job of constantly trying to represent and prop up people who might be somewhat shady. That notion is probably part of how they got the rap. But, I have to find the balance of being colorful, being at times despicable, and also being somebody who does believe in something.
thinking car people
The automotive corporations, including Ford, I think are in the business of trying to make cars that people will drive.
years people buzz
I'm very leery of show business, having been in Los Angeles for the last 10 years. Buzz is a dangerous thing that I've heard applied to a lot of people that I've since not heard of again.
senior football team
I was a halfback on an American football team in Athens, Greece - the Kississia Colts - where I went to high school, and we took the Cup my senior year. The downside, and somewhat unfortunate piece of information I have to pass on, is there were only two teams in the league because of the limited amount of Americans.
magic champagne adolescence
My adolescence was all tits and champagne. I'm downplaying the magic of it all.
stars crowds actresses
Cher's great, she's incredible. She is an enormous, enormous star, who goes anywhere and crowds follow her...and yet she's a disciplined actress and she's down to Earth and cool. I can't say enough good things about her.
maps benefits clear
I've never had a clear road map. When things come along, I benefit.
college doors giving
I went door-to-door selling cable television subscriptions when I was in college. Not to date myself, but cable was just coming on. I had terrible territories, and they would give me $25, if I got somebody to let them come and just put the little cord in their house.
cat turns ifs
If a woman has one cat, it will invariably turn into 20.
careers fire felt
I've never felt like my career has been on fire.
dog eye training
She is such a scene-stealer. She's got these lashes and big eyes, and when she walks on to the set everybody just says "ooh."
