I went straight in. Fade in, one... whatever. He's playing the piano in the radio station.

I mean he's a very famous director... they're not going to put their... and he's very tough, he doesn't like interference at all, so he kept them at bay.

Easier to climb up, than to just hang on.

He's very concealed, Polanski. We became very close friends, but I don't think I ever saw him drop his guard. I didn't see him upset or anything like that, we just did the work.

It's a terrific... you can't put it down. So I phoned him back and I said I'd love to do it. I went over to Paris for a meeting, and we just talked very generally about the approach.

No, I can't write treatments, I think there's a danger with treatments. That you... you write out your first excitement and enthusiasm in a prose treatment.

Well we took it apart scene by scene. We examined every sentence, every full stop, every comma. He has a most wonderful eye for detail, Roman, and you know, he's a very good artist.

I went straight in. Fade in, one... whatever. He's playing the piano in the radio station.

In London - and forget those extra public pressures on politicians - the lovely old Sloane world of manor houses simply hasn't cut it since Big Bang in 1986, the point at which Mrs. Thatcher really started to achieve her ambition to make this country more like America - its ambition, economy, it's very tangible measures of success.

I'm not a religious person. My mom was of Jewish blood and my dad was Protestant.

I am a summer person.

I lived to be on stage, and I'm terrified. Terrified before every show.

Anytime fashion and music go hand-in-hand and it really is an organic fit, it's amazing.

I never wanted to be called an artist. I wanted to be called a photographer.

It's hard to come across a true country fan in L.A., but it's true that the fans are so loyal, once you're in their circle, you're in for your entire career. It just really speaks to me. Country music has so much soul and is so heartfelt. I think it's a perfect fit for me.

Wherever we play golf, people come out here to get autographs. They obviously come out to watch us play and see us in action, but they also want to interact with us.

Without atmosphere a painting is nothing.

We're not running the ball again until we get ahead. Shula was calling the plays, but I told them, 'I don't care what he calls. We're throwing every pass from now until we get the lead.' To Shula's credit, he always gave me that option.

As you become husband and wife, prepare to welcome a lot of strife. Each others faults you will point out, you will fight and argue without a doubt. Don't even bother trying to find a solution, this is marriage life's toughest institution.

Many of us develop different flavors of cynicism that we work hard to resist because they can be lazy mental shortcuts.

Labels are for jars not people.
