My absolute favorite growing up was 'Super Friends.' The assemblage of so many mighty heroes in one place was, to me, mind-blowing. It was Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Aquaman, and then sometimes Hawkman and some other, lesser heroes.

I think people hate me pretty much across the board, which is nice. I mean, it's a pretty evenhanded loathing among a certain amount of the critical population, which used to be about 80 percent. So now I've gotten to the point where I just don't worry about it that much. It used to be very upsetting, now it's only mildly upsetting.

I am not a music snob. If anything, my musical taste is bad by any critical standards.

I feel like my career has been a series of glowing obituaries.

I am afraid that the ordinary citizen will not like to be told that the banks can and do create and destroy money. And they who control the credit of a nation direct the policy of governments, and hold in the hollow of their hands the destiny of the people.

Once you have the money, fame, success or power, it's so easy to maintain that, because all you have to do is play it safe.

I have never lived off my family name.

Most of the musical film work that I have done has been in this realm of what I think of as real family entertainment.
