I’m very fond of the British cinema. I’m a big fan of Martin Campbell and Daniel Craig. I actually find Daniel very inspirational, especially on the physical side of things. He really inspired me to get back into shape when I started to add on a few pounds. I think he’s a great role model.
Merle Haggard once said, ‘I’m really mad at Glen Campbell because he’s the most talented human being in the world.’ That kind of summed it up. Merle didn’t miss!
For my very first September issue, I put Naomi Campbell on the cover. She was wearing this orange Anne Klein sequin suit – it would probably look incredibly ’80s today.
A friend of mine said, no matter what I do I always look like an English teacher. She actually said, you still look like a Campbell’s Soup kid.
We’re both big Glen Campbell fans – it’s one of the things that united us in eternal love.
My mood board is archival images of Brigitte Bardot and Iman, and Naomi Campbell in the ’90s.
I have traveled down this path before – ‘List of Seven’ and ‘Twin Peaks’ both have thematic similarities – but ‘Paladin’ took me much deeper into the intuitive underground. Always bearing in mind Joseph Campbell’s Rule No. 1: When entering a labyrinth, don’t forget your ball of twine.
When we lost Glen Campbell, we lost an American original. We also lost a really good man.
Billy Campbell who is… I… truly one of the most talented actors today.
My mother doesn’t cook; my grandmother didn’t cook. Her kids were raised by servants. They would joke about Sunday night dinner. It was the only night she would cook, and apparently it was just horrendous, like scrambled eggs and Campbell’s soup.
I was approached by Sue Campbell to give my thoughts on whether I’d be interested in being the next head coach of the women’s national team. Straight away, I was unbelievably excited and honoured to be approached by Sue.
I can still remember the first time I heard a Beatles song. It was the fall of 1964, my second year in an American school after my family moved back from overseas, and I was standing on the corner of 64th street and First Avenue with my friend Larry Campbell.
And we know Bruce Campbell from way back, so that was a lot of fun.
I simply loathe the crude 1960s distinctions between commerce and art. For me, Warhol and pop obliterated all of those separations – that was the whole point of the Brillo Boxes and Campbell’s Soup Cans. And believe it or not, in 2009, moronic journalists are still saying to me, ‘Your work is so commercial.’
‘Journey’ was very much inspired by Joseph Campbell’s work for ‘The Hero’s Journey,’ but, from among his works, I like ‘The Power of Myth’ best.
I have done some bad things – things I can’t and won’t talk about. Nothing that bad, but if that stuff was printed in the papers, they’d paint me as a bad guy. I couldn’t be Tevin Campbell, Mr. Perfect. But I really don’t want to be Tevin Campbell, Mr. Perfect.
You know, one year with ‘Glenn Campbell and his Good Time Hour’ and people know you too well. To me, when someone is on the tube every day then they become ordinary.
