I’m a film buff and I was keen to find out about the response to Daniel Craig’s 007. ‘Empire’ and ‘Hot Dog’ had great reviews, and finally he’s been accepted as the new Bond. So many millions go into that franchise that if you make a mistake, it’s awful. – Burn Gorman

It may be a mistake to say this, but I know my limitations as an actor and I know what I can and can not do. Robert De Niro can do everything. I can’t. A ‘Highlander’ movie is basically my thing.

In very big companies, you find less entrepreneurialism than you really want to see. Success is defined as ‘don’t make a mistake.’ And you get to be the C.E.O. by outlasting everybody else, then you’re there for five or six years, and you want to get your bonus on the way out. – Bernard L. Schwartz
