Quotes
I take cabs if I need to get somewhere or I take car service.
I always take a cab in Paris, because I don't know where I am ever going.
When I was a kid, I used to sneak down the stairs when my folks had company and listen to them. They sounded so adult and so worldly. I liked that. Then I would go back to my room and try to sound like them. I would put a cup to my mouth and pretend it was a microphone. I would turn on the fan and try to create a windstorm. Then I would say, 'Good evening, Mr. and Mrs. America and all the ships at sea. Let's go to press.' God, I wanted to be Walter Winchell. Or some sort of reporter. Or a radio announcer. I didn't know what I wanted to be. I just wanted to be something. I remember one rainy Sunday afternoon, there was a Hitchcock film on TV. I sat down to watch it. There came a commercial and I started flipping channels. I came to a halt on a gospel channel. I watched for a moment and then it hit me. This is what I want to do. I want to be an evangelist. I sat there and made notes for the next two hours. When I was finished, I got up and went downstairs. There were people in the room. I said, 'Excuse me.' No one paid any attention. I said it again, louder. 'Excuse me!' They turned and looked at me. I waited until I had their attention and then I said, 'Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to announce that I am going to be an evangelist.' My father laughed. It's the only time I ever heard him laugh in my entire life. He said, 'That's the end of your rotten career.'
