"My dad was rubbish at all other aspects of his financial life, but he’s pretty good at paying the rent." ― Robert Carlyle Topic(s): Dad More From Robert Carlyle "Acting, the arts in general, is a magnet for the wounded of society." "In troubled times the last thing you want to do is to stick your money into a film. It’s such a gamble." "I don’t take a great deal of interest in party politics. Social politics interests me a great deal more." More In Dad "I spent a lot of time on farms when I was young. My uncle and my dad owned a big farm."― Emeril Lagasse "Epic poetry exhibits life in some great symbolic attitude. It cannot strictly be said to symbolize life itself, but always some manner of life."― Lascelles Abercrombie "My Dad hated his job. He sold overcoats, but he wanted to make movies. He had a failed career working with the Ritz Brothers – they were like the Marx Brothers, only a tier below. I always had a picture in my mind of him in a straw hat."― Steve Sabol
