I did throw a lot of eggs into one basket, as you do in your teenage years - 'I am buying these records, I am wearing this'. I did quite a bit of that. You have to do it, wear your stupid shoes, wear your stupid hair.

When you put all your eggs in one basket, you've got a problem.
I've always been a fella who put most of my eggs in one basket and then take a dump in the basket but I really don't know.
I mean if you put all of your eggs in one basket, boy, and that thing blows up you've got a real problem.
I grew up doing all that stuff because I was obsessed with the '50s. I had sock hops for birthday parties. So I've always done The Twist and stuff. It was pretty natural and, with my parents doing it all the time, I'd just copy them. Not very pretty.
It's OK to have your eggs in one basket as long as you control what happens to that basket.
Mr. Wrigley believed in this: Put all your eggs in one basket and watch the basket. They don't do that today. This is the old-fashioned way I'm talking about. He carried it on to his business. Do one thing and stay with it.
I used to help my dad with a stall selling eggs when I was about 12. People were so hard up they would ask for one egg. But mostly no one came by at all. It was very demoralising.
I think one of the things that saved me is that I never put all my eggs in one basket.
I think I can poach a pretty mean egg the old-fashioned way.
As cheesy as it sounds, all my eggs were never in just one basket. I had a thousand baskets going on.
