I looked back on the roaring Twenties, with its jazz, 'Great Gatsby' and the pre-Code films as a party I had somehow managed to miss.
To pursue your dreams, to have them come true, to have made a difference, to have changed society, to have fought against powerful forces... that's a life well-spent.
In my wildest dreams, I could not have imagined a sweeter life.
I guess I'm the most successful man I know. I wouldn't trade places with anybody in the world.
The whole 1950s notion was find the right girl, get married, move to the suburbs and then hang out with the guys while she stayed home with the babies. I felt that was sort of sad.
It's good to be selfish. But not so self-centered that you never listen to other people.
