Shay Given almost single-handedly won the match for Newcastle against Everton, although obviously he didn't score the goals
George HamiltonI remember a meeting I had at MGM. It was at the end of their reign. They say we have you under contract, and because youโre under contract, weโd like to you to work. I said, well, that seems fair. But if itโs a really good movie, they were going to give it to a particular actor that was not under contract. The bottom line was they were going to pay you more if it was a bad one and pay you less if it was a good one.
George HamiltonAt MGM there was a script cage in the basement where theyโd show rushes. And I thought to myself, โHow do I get into the script cage and find out what my future is?โ I climbed into the script cage one night and spent the whole night in there. I saw the bowels of MGM. I saw the studio scripts that the producers had seen; the writers had just handed them in. And I started thinking this is a chance to pick my own roles.
George HamiltonI'm not known as a singer, but in life I like to do things that are a bit beyond my reach to keep myself from slipping. I find that technology has made it so that we don't need to have a memory system, and as I get older I want to do things that challenge me. What could be more challenging than doing this show with a knee that's been replaced, after tearing my Achilles heel with a baker's cyst on the back of my knee? And then I have to try and dance!
