My dad always told me, 'I don't care what you do. Just aim to be the best at it. Even if it's the world's best window cleaner.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have a lot of glass in my house, and I remember saying as a joke once that I clean my stuff with Windex while my friends are over, but then I found myself actually doing that the other day. It's horrible.
My father always said, 'Do your best and piss on the rest.' And I think there's a lot of truth to that, because if you've done your best, there's not a hell of a lot more you can do about something.
I used to be a window cleaner. I got fired because I sometimes liked to drink the soapy water.
My dad always taught me to never be satisfied, to want more and know that what is done is done.
Well, you know I have an office, my film offices. So I know that syndrome. I fancy offices, so there must be something wrong with me. Even the window cleaner intrigues me. It's a very sexy environment.
When we used to go to the car-wash where people would wipe the windows, my dad would go out and help them and then tip them as well, so I learned my empathy from my dad, and my mum is very empathetic too, but in a very stern way; she will always check my ego.
I just don't like to lose what's in the window.
Life is denied by lack of attention, whether it be to cleaning windows or trying to write a masterpiece.
I'm more of a window-shopper; if anything catches my eye, I drop in.
What I did before in my career you can pretty much throw out the window. Out of sight, out of mind.
