James Cameron doesn't do what James Cameron does for James Cameron. James Cameron does what James Cameron does because James Cameron is. . . James Cameron.
I'm the greatest in this world.
Everything government touches turns to crap.
Fondest memory of being a Beatle: Having three brothers.
My soul is that of a drummer. . . . I didn't do it to become rich and famous. I did it because it was the love of my life.
Let's make my birthday, July the 7th at noon, Peace and Love Day. Everybody go, 'Peace and love. ' In the office, on the bus, wherever. It's still peace and love for me, I'm a product of the 60s and it was a very influential period in my life, and you know, my head was turned around a bit, my eyes were opened as it were. In fact, I even have it on my arm, 'Peace and love'. I see nothing wrong with peace and love.
You either kiss the future or the past goodbye.
It is not that which is beautiful that pleases us, but that which pleases is is called beautiful.
My working hours are not that conventional. I often get up about two in the morning and do a painting, and then I'll have a bath, and then I often feel very hungry around 4am, so I'll go into Soho and have a meal somewhere like Balans. That's what I love about living here - there's always life around me.
. . . in terms of business mistakes that I've seen over a long lifetime, I would say that trying to minimize taxes too much is one of the great standard causes of really dumb mistakes. I see terrible mistakes from people being overly motivated by tax considerations. Warren and I personally don't drill oil wells. We pay our taxes. And we've done pretty well, so far. Anytime somebody offers you a tax shelter from here on in life, my advice would be don't buy it.
There's always a project around, but you have to pick and choose.
