I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country's economic growth environmental protection improvements in our educational system.
Do you remember when you were 10 or 11 years old and you really thought your folks were the best? They were completely omniscient and you took their word for everything. And then you got older and you went through this hideous age when suddenly they were the devil they were bullies and they didn't know anything.
I tried to bake a cake for my mother's birthday - it took me four hours. It was terrible and I cried for three days.
My father who was from a wealthy family and highly educated a lawyer Yale and Columbia walked out with the benefit of a healthy push from my mother a seventh grade graduate who took a typing course and got a secretarial job as fast as she could.
When the question arose whether I as a member of the royal family should take part in active combat in the Falklands there was no question in her mind and it only took her two days to sort the issue.
I took three years off. I differentiated myself from the industry. Found my identity - sort of I haven't graduated yet. I'm not legitimately educated yet but maybe one day.
Yeah I spent about 20 years in a dorm room. It took me a while to graduate.
Just got back from a pleasure trip: I took my mother-in-law to the airport.
I remember when I took Quentin Tarantino with me to a very private screening of the documentary 'Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired' which shows some of the legal irregularities of his case. I was involved by the film and it was an amazing experience to see people weep at the end of it.
In my second year in graduate school I took a computer course and that was like lightening striking.
I think I finally chose the graduate degree in engineering primarily because it only took one year and law school took three years and I felt the pressure of being a little behind - although I was just 22.
As a teenager I was so insecure. I was the type of guy that never fitted in because he never dared to choose. I was convinced I had absolutely no talent at all. For nothing. And that thought took away all my ambition too.
A few months after graduation I was working in films. It took off pretty quick.
So Harry Potter came in and it is nice that I have kids of the right age. I took them to London and they walked around the set and met Harry Potter and that is thrilling.
The wedding took place in Vermont where they have legalized gay civil unions and I married a woman.
I use filming as an excuse to take classes. I got my certification in sailing for 'Wedding Crashers' and now I can handle a 26-foot boat. I played a seamstress once so I took sewing classes. I love dipping into these other lives.
Now both my films have been number one at the Australian box office and it took about two years just to get the finance for this film so if it's hard for me then God help everyone else.
