It was just so elaborate and so luxurious. We had every gadget imaginable. You know, I had the little gun that came out, and I had the little gun in the heel of the shoe.

There's a gray area there that I'm satisfied is not gray.

I'm satisfied it's very black, meaning 'in the black'.

You name it, we had it. It won't happen again. You're not going to duplicate this show.

Well, Barry, it's your film. So if it rises or falls, you're the man.

But I think Barry Sonnenfeld let his ego go out of control. He told me in a meeting that he had to do something to make it his film.

Will Smith is young, he's cool and my kids have his CDs.

You know, this whole thing about Ricky Martin, and how successful that young man is. He's 27, I was 29.

I'm disappointed. I don't care about Will Smith, I don't want to.

Oh, that character was light years away from me. I'm not debonair. I'm not suave. I did wear tight pants, though, because I found out that it worked.

One of my officers said to me that Trinidad and Tobago is seen like an ATM card... you come in with the card and you come back out with cash. It cannot happen anymore. It just cannot happen.

The great lesson I get from 'Moby-Dick' is that when the times are bad, when there is great foreboding, there are still ways to go about living. It's through Ishmael that I find a kind of overall cosmic approach to a meaningful life in this meaningless world.

Germans don't speak in a German accent, they just speak German.

Many times I've sat with a camera and another actor and seen all their fears and insecurities and struggles. You want to support them and help them as much as you can.

I have a background in erotic dancing, but that's mostly just - it's not professional, it's just amateur.

All deception in the course of life is indeed nothing else but a lie reduced to practice, and falsehood passing from words into things.

Lying to ourselves is more deeply ingrained than lying to others.

Whatever you define family as, family is just a part of belonging to something that takes care of you and nurtures you... and when you have lost that, and you want to get that back, it's pretty easy to get emotional about it.

With all the crap that's going on around the world, you kind of want to do what you can to protect the ones you love.

Like a lot of young lads who dreamt about being a singer, I was a massive fan of Robbie Williams and couldn't believe my luck when, not only did I get to meet my idol, but sing with him, too.

The one thing that holds people back from working out together is that they don't want to smell around other people. Your olfactory sense is the primary sense in your memory, and you don't want to be part of anyone's memory thinking that you smell bad.

I don't drive.

Middle age occurs when you are too young to take up golf and too old to rush up to the net.

Never lose yourself while trying to hold on to someone who doesn't care about losing you.

For years, I have been working on crossing the Grand Canyon. Actually, there is nobody who says 'no,' but since this is a project that comes from me and not a commission, I have to find the money, plan the logistics, etcetera.

I don't know why people keep banging on about the '60s. I came from a conventional family and I didn't go off with different people - I rather wish I had now, seeing all the fun everyone else was having.

I tried ice-skating and wasn't very good at it.

Life is like riding a bicycle. If you want to stay balanced youve got to keep moving forward.

And the stately lilies stand Fair in the silvery light, Like saintly vestals, pale in prayer; Their pure breath sanctifies the air, As its fragrance fills the night.

Our tree is actually a tree of the short-term interest rate. The average direction in which the short-term interest rate moves depends on the level of the rate. When the rate is very high, that direction is downward; when the rate is very low, it is upward.

I'm not out there just to be dancing around. I expect to win every time I tee up.

I kind of came to the conclusion after I did finally get married that love and relationships are just a series of horrific losses with hopefully one win.

And this is what was fascinating to me about 'The Help'; they were ordinary people who did extraordinary things.

How do you make something the same but different? That's the question I had to deal with in my approach to the cover painting for 'Percy Jackson's Greek Heroes.' I wanted it to have many similarities to 'Percy Jackson's Greek Gods,' but I knew they couldn't be too similar.
