Sometimes it just means flying from Bogota to New York via Amsterdam to have a day with your kids. When we spend time with them, I think we do our utmost best to be really with them - on vacations or during weekends or even at breakfast in the morning.
I'm not a protocol fetishist. It's more important to me that people feel at ease when I'm with them.
Father of four. I like the sound of that.
I don't have to make my own bed.
My mum had me brought up by nannies and governesses. I didn't have much to do with my parents until I was 21.
I would just like to have children. Lots of children.
Historically, royal families have represented an institution. The institution is built on heritage, and is timeless in that sense.
My role as king will be much like my mum's as queen, so long as I remain in tune with the people.
I hope that my family will continue in another thousand years.
Going to the Arctic was immense for me.
'Out of Sight' is one of my favorite films ever. Love Steven Soderbergh. 'Goodfellas' was a huge influence on me in terms of the use of camera. 'Black Orpheus,' a beautiful love story that very few people actually have seen, and that was an influence on 'Beyond the Lights,' too, in terms of the look of the film.
On my set, people have to respect the actor's process. I totally respect what actors do. I give them whatever time they need, and I never scream out directions from the camera. I take the time to walk up to them and talk to them personally.
I don't want people to go to a film of mine because they feel guilty, like, 'I have to support it because there's black folks in there.' I want them to go because it's a good movie.
Everything I've written has been personal and touched on things that I needed to deal with in my personal life. So I just feel that writing is great therapy, and the best writing comes from truth, and so I mine my life constantly for that.
