[on being asked whether he had made his peace with his most famous film The Sound of Music (1965)] Oh, God no.

[on the enduring appeal of The Sound of Music (1965)] Yeah, it drives me nuts. It has nothing to do with the movie, it’s just a relentless pursuing of this film that goes on and on and I’ve gone on and on, far above and beyond it and then to be reminded of it, God almighty what is the matter with people?

Too many people in the world are unhappy with their lot. And then they retire and they become vegetables. I think retirement in any profession is death, so I’m determined to keep crackin’.
