I believe that the first 8 years are most important and the time in a child's life when parents must be absolutely and completely present.

I loved sitting on my veranda sipping quality scotch, puffing a Cuban cigar and watching Cuba on the horizon, or the oceanic vista. Did this late in the evenings many times.

Children... are our legacy. Our responsibility. They are our destiny and we are theirs. The extent to which we fail as parents, we fail as Gods children.

Children who cling to parents or who don't want to leave home are stunted in their emotional, psychological growth.

In many ways I wish I wasn't an actor dragging around the baggage from being one so that I could just devote my energies to encouraging people to find their true selves.

Films must all have the same structure. All of this to guarantee box office bonanza, which of course it never does, but that's another discussion entirely.

There is a divine moment in our lives when we all become one. It's called procreation, and it is reborn, continually and forever.
