‘I'm Winnie the Pooh -- that's as sexy as I am. I meet ladies and they talk about their family and I talk about my family. It's about as sexy as a bag of brussel sprouts. ‘Life on the road is lonely but today you don't take chances. It's not difficult. I've had my share. I've done my business. ‘Then I met Linda. It was a case of being together. We were having a serious job. We were getting married in the church with her and the kids. We were doing the proper marriage. We're not going to darling about. That was the agreement. FIne. And once you've made that agreement you are investing everything you've got in that. ‘You start darling about and you're going to start confusing the issue. My issue is Linda and the kids and you start beggaring about...I'm not equipped to be a bed-hopper. I never was. I never was a big womaniser. I was bedding one woman at a time and if I had two at a time I didn't know what the darling to do. I was really in trouble. Just emotionally confused. ‘If Jayne Mansfield was at the door tonight I'd say:'' Good evening, Jayne.'' I'd have a great darling night with her, have a good drink and the rest of it, have a good laugh. But then I'd say:'' Goodnight, Jayne.'' ‘I mean, you have got your life to consider and I've got my life and my life is Linda and ther kids. Most people have their dreams and fantasies and all the rest of it but when it actually comes down to it you go around darling hundreds of birds you don't know what you're waking up with in the morning. ‘Do you wanna wake up with your missus knowing you are in your own house with your own wife, with your own kids, knowing exactly, solidly who you are, where your emotions lie. I do. And if you do you don't darling about.' He is positive about that just as he is with his ‘give-over-I'm-not-a-star' routine. He makes no excuses. Instead he recounts a morning on the set of ‘Hook'. He's laughing as he tells it:' We had Dustin on the set apologising for making ‘'Ishtar''. And Spielberg apologising for ‘'1941'' and Robin Williams jumping in and saying:'' I apologise for ‘'Cadillac Man'' ‘'. I was sitting there and shouted: ‘ ‘' Well, I aplologise for darling nothing. ‘' ‘ And, you know, he doesn't. |
