Quotes

  • The greatest ability in business is to get along with others and influence their actions. A chip on the shoulder is too heavy a piece of baggage to carry through life.
  • Higher education must lead the march back to the fundamentals of human relationships, to the old discovery that is ever new, that man does not live by bread alone.
  • There was a whole raft of really bad British science fiction. I mean like the old Doctor Who (1963), with the Daleks and all that. I never kind of got into that.

Salary

  • The Mummy Returns (2001) - $1,000,000
