You know, and so he would always have things like that. So, of course, I did that joke. Oh, we put the casket, the top of the casket. That was really hard, I said, because he still had a boner.
No, because it depends what the movie is, but that can tell you one thing, that the director's the answer. I don't ever think that you can pull off a movie without a really great director. I've had shitty directors, then the movie came out shitty and they went in the toilet. And then the same actor, me, was doing a movie with a great director, like Jim Cameron,
or Paul Verhoeven, or Ivan Reitman, all of those movies went through the roof. I mean because, not because of me necessarily, but it was them understanding me and figuring out what I can do well, and they had me do it that way. And so I really thank the world of great directors, and of course what is not on the page is not on the stage. I mean, it's like you've got to have it on a page.
You've got to have a good script, and with a good script and a good director, you're pretty much home free. God.
When's your first cigar? I smoke one a day. Just one? Just one a day, yeah, exactly.
No, I sometimes start after lunch.
with one just smoke a half one and then finish it off at night um or sometimes just smoke one right after lunch or smoke one just at night i mean it really depends but i would say most of the cases it is kind of like once a day and sometimes none actually you know if i fly or if i travel around or if i'm inside i never smoke when i'm inside so sometimes it just doesn't
The thing is, when you're used to smoking and having a great time smoking a cigar, you don't want to spoil it with just smoking it anywhere. There's certain moments where you feel like, this is what I need to smoke a great cigar. I love, for instance, when I go into a new town and I light up a cigar in a car and tell the guy to drive me around for half an hour and show me the town.
You know, just have the window open and just look at the city and just smoke a stogie. And hopefully you have a buddy in there with you that also smokes one, so then you have a good time. But I love smoking over at my house. We have a fireplace outside. Favorite beverage with a cigar?
No. No, it could be coffee. It could be water. It could be anything. Do you drink? It could be prune juice. Do you drink much? I don't drink much, no. I think that the first time I have had a glass of wine in a long time was just on Saturday when I had a Christmas party. And it was Glühwein. Do you know what is Glühwein? Glühwein is like hot wine with cinnamon in it.
And so there's an Austrian kind of a thing. Like ski chalets. That's right, yeah. Yeah, I've had it in Austria. And so it fools you because it's hot and because it's cinnamon in it, it doesn't taste like wine, right? It just tastes extra kind of like almost like a dessert drink. And so you drink more. Oh, man, I got a nice buzz from that one. Yeah.
I needed a stogie just for that one to stay awake. And that was wild. So that was really good. But I very rarely, just this much wine, or this much schnapps, or something like that. In the old days, we would start playing pool, and after every pool game, we would have a schnappel schnapps. So after 10 games, we would have 10 schnappel schnapps, right? And they were the loser who always pay.
But, I mean, eventually I got to the point where I just, after my heart surgery and stuff like that, I couldn't really handle the alcohol anymore that much. So now I do it in moderation. Yeah. Do you think about death at all? About what? Death? I try not to. Because, I mean, it sucks, right?
Yeah, yeah. No, I can understand it. Because the funny thing about it is that I think that the better off we are and the more fun you have in life, the more pissed off you get that eventually this is going to be taken from you. Yeah. Yeah. And, of course, we don't know that it has been taken from you because it's over. But, I mean, that also pisses me off. Yeah.
Since everything pisses me off about the whole thing.
I mean, there's just nothing good about it.
I know, I know, it sucks. It's like, who was asking me to catch all about, what did I think about? Howard Stern. Howard Stern. Howard Stern. He asked me, he said, governor. I suppose being governor makes you an expert in death. He says, tell me. What happens to us when we die? I said, the only thing I can come up with is we go six feet out and we rot.
And he said, oh, my God, what a welcome to Los Angeles. He was doing his show out there in L.A.
Well, I really, you're so right about this because I always, as soon as I saw documentaries about America, I said to myself, man, I belong over there. I mean, the skyscrapers in New York, the Golden Gate Bridge, the highways in California, you know, the beaches and the whole thing, Hollywood. I said, you know, maybe my mother had something going with an American soldier. Yeah.
I literally checked into it. I said, there's something of why I feel like I belong there and not here. And it's just that somehow I didn't pencil out because the Americans never were down in Graz. It was the British soldiers that were in Graz. But not the Americans. Thank God you didn't go there. We're glad you're here, man.
