I love film. After a yummy meal for the whole family and some truly great friends we often go out to see something beautiful and unique.

Do not let your bachelor ways crystallize so that you can't soften them when you come to have a wife and a family of your own.

I have often noticed that ancestors never boast of the descendants who boast of ancestors. I would rather start a family than finish one. Blood will tell but often it tells too much.

I'm often asked if I regret not going to Hollywood. I'm glad I didn't go because if I had I wouldn't have my extended family which is the fabric of my life. Only recently have I realised how special and unusual it is.
