Cancer has shown me what family is. It showed me a love that I never knew really existed.

To me, Bermuda is a real family spot.

I've taken blame about being a bad father - if being a bad father is working your butt off trying to create a career at one time.

Of course it's important to make mistakes, as long as you grow from them.

The thing with cancer is that you want to get it as early as you can.

Liberace was a lovely guy.

I haven't played a lot of nice guys.

Chemotherapy takes its toll; the more you keep doing it, you lose your energy, and it gets more difficult to swallow.

I think sometimes in relationships, ladies like having a man who takes care of them, nurtures them. If you can't find it in a man your own age, you find it in somebody who is older.

I tell my kids they are going to live to over 100.

When you've accomplished a certain amount in your career, you're not so focused on your ambitions.

Kids know. They know everything. I would err on the side of pretty much sharing everything.

Learning patience was not an easy lesson.

If your work isn't exciting, doesn't stir the emotions, where's the challenge? Where's the progress if you always play it safe?

There is something about seeing rhinos and lions running free that excites you. It's not that you feel afraid; it's more like you're liberated by seeing them.

I've never been one to carefully calculate my career decisions, to sit on the outside looking in. I go with my passion and what moves me.

'Wall Street' was a very important movie for me in terms of my career. I won an Oscar, and then the film 'Fatal Attraction' came right after it.

I have hardly ever worked with the same director twice. But when you have worked with a director before, you understand his behavior.

I never really look at my movies.

The people who work in Wall Street still look up to Gordon Gekko. He's sort of a guru.

When I was working on pictures with my father, there were a couple leading ladies to whom I wish I'd expressed how I felt rather than being too cool or too shy.

I've always liked Tina Turner.

Capitalism is part of our system, but it's not for the faint of heart.

Celebrity gets you access to world leaders.
