grandfather generations india
My grandfather was born in India and three generations of my family served there.
parent impulse ifs
If I did have the impulse to be a parent, I would adopt - or foster.
men long people
There are lots of women and lots of men in the business that the powers that be decide are the right people and they'll stand with them for quite a long time.
eccentric world fit
You're not allowed to be an eccentric in the world, you have to fit it.
authority
I've never been any good with authority.
wall italian years
The fact is that you could not be, and still cannot be, a 25-year-old homosexual trying to make it in the British film business or the American film business or even the Italian film business. It just doesn't work and you're going to hit a brick wall at some point.
religious gay tolerance
If you're gay or religious you're always hearing this word tolerance. It's a pathetic word. It's actually just a politically correct word for the term intolerance.
sexy lying giving
If you're an actor, there's going to be a sense of fantasy about yourself, especially in the celebrity world we live in today. You give the illusion of being in control, sexy, at ease, with never a difficult moment. Those are the basic lies that all celebrities tell. For me, they're the more dangerous lies to come to terms with.
choices done stuff
I've done a lot of period stuff but that's mostly because, in England, we get off on a lot of period stuff, but it's not any kind of particular choice. That's where a lot of the work is.
writing people age
Listen, in England people are already writing their memoirs at the age of 23.
sex dancing
Maybe there won't be marriage, maybe there won't be sex, but by God there'll be dancing!
war army thinking
In Burton's day they [soldiers] were itching to get into the fray. Now it is the opposite. They are always whining about the dangers of being killed. Oh my God, they are such wimps now! The whole point of being in the Army is wanting to get killed, wanting to test yourself to the limits. Now you have to fly 15,000ft above the war zone to avoid getting hit. I don't think there is any point in having wars if that's how you're going to behave. It's pathetic. All this whining!
running kids parent
As a kid I would be put to bed when my parents had guests and because I was such a show-off I would go to my mum's room, put on her nightdress and Jackie Onassis shawl, run downstairs, go outside, ring the doorbell and pretend to be one of the guests. I'd say, 'Hello, I'm Mrs. So-and-So.
ties tie-dye clubs
I don't want to be carried out of a club wearing a tie-dye T-shirt and a cap on the wrong way around when I am 70, but I would like to settle down a bit. Maybe with a partner.
