I think life on the road really suits very egotistical men. It's set up for kings.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I still like the King's Road. It is very alive; it is a hustle of things from different countries and so on. It is lovely.
It is not fit that every man should travel; it makes a wise man better, and a fool worse.
Every man's road in life is marked by the graves of his personal liking.
One novel that I think is an overriding influence in my life is 'All the King's Men,' the most beautiful book written in the U.S.
There is no royal road to a successful life, as there is no royal road to learning. It has got to be hard knocks, morning, noon, and night, and fixity of purpose.
It must be terribly lonely to be a king instead of a man.
Some people haven't got a life, I suppose. They want to be on the road all the time.
I play a guy who believes he's a king. He's the most common man in the world; in fact his family, like his suits, are just make-up. It's about dysfunctional people and dysfunctional relationships.
Anyone driving great social change, willingly or not, is going to be a fascinating contradictory mix of idealism and ego.
As great as kings may be, they are what we are: they can err like other men.
