I get up at sunrise. I'm a Buddhist so I chant in the morning. My wife and I sit and have coffee together but then it's list-making time. I have carpentry projects. We have roads we keep in repair. It's not back-breaking but it's certainly aerobic and mildly strenuous.

We were making new ones the second year. We were in syndication the second year. So we were on Saturday nights prime time every morning and then they put it on Sunday evenings too. So it was all over the place.

My wife gets pampered pretty well. She's had me trained since she was pregnant when I started making her oatmeal with fresh berries every morning.

I was scheduled to give my first official press conference that morning anyway 'cause I was chairman of the Governors Energy Council and I was making a press conference with regard to energy policy.

I certainly don't sit around in the morning making pancakes listening to Whitehouse or anything.

Internet marketing entrepreneurs have truly opened my eyes to just how important a quick turnaround time can be. Often times an interview they conduct with me today is online by the next morning. The interviewee is then able to start making money less than 24 hours after the initial interview.

I never want to make a film. I don't wake up in the morning going 'Ooh I'd really love to be on set making a film today'. I'm aware that other contemporary film directors perceive film-making as what they do as what they have to do. But I would hope that I am more catholic in my tastes.

It's fairness to say those who work hard get up in the morning cut their cloth - in other words 'we can only afford to have one or two children because we don't earn enough'. They pay their taxes and they want to know that the same kind of decision-making is taking place for those on benefits.

I was so young and making movies going to the studio every morning at dawn was magic.

Making films can be absolutely fantastic but it can also be incredibly dull. You spend the whole day sitting by yourself in your trailer and then you get called to deliver one sentence - then you're told to come back and do it again at 5:30 the following morning.

I was in Washington D.C. on the morning show by the time I was 18 programming a station by 19 No. 1 in the mornings. I think I was making I don't know a quarter of a million dollars by the time I was 25.

Making love in the morning got me through morning sickness. I found I could be happy and throw up at the same time.

I could be making a lot more money now if I had chosen a different kind of movie but none of that matters to me... I've done the parts I wanted to do.

But it's a blessing to be so successful within a year it's the greatest feeling in the world making money and doing the things that I'm doing and I definitely trying to continue doing what I'm doing.

Human beings are much bigger than just making money.

You want to give people a reason to hate my guts more? I'm making more money.

Goddam money. It always ends up making you blue as hell.
