I have been instrumental in banning bottled water on the set. It hasn't gone that well with the crew... so I replaced it with tequila.

It's a basic truth of the human condition that everybody lies. The only variable is about what.

I am a coffee fanatic. Once you go to proper coffee, you can't go back. You cannot go back.
