“I had to ride a horse once. In 'King Arthur.' I said I could ride, but I had to call for lessons on the day the deal was signed. I started out on this little chunky thing and slowly moved up. It was months of work.” LittlesSaidDealsMonthsKingsLessonsHorseMovedArthurKing Arthur Author:Clive Owen
“When I'm writing, which is 8-9 months out of the year, I'm in a concerted writing pace, where I work 5 days a week for at least a few hours a day, maybe a little bit more.

“Terrible, it was terrible. Even today and it's been several months now you just bring it up and I tear up a little bit, terribly. You know when you're that close that long and got along as well as we did, we seldom had any serious arguments. We might have - might discuss which movie we wanted to see and what play we wanted to go to, where we ought to go for a vacation but that usually didn't last very long because we were much of the same mind all the time.” KnowsLoveMindWellsLittlesLongPlayMightTodayWantedLastsBitsLove YouTearsSeriousMonthsOughtTerribleLittle BitArgumentVacationTime Love Author:Walter Cronkite
