Kids in Alaska don't know they're growing up on the Last Frontier. It's just what they see on the license plates, and it's something tourists like to say a lot because they've never been around so many mountains and moose before.

I went to Alaska as a young man just looking for adventure. And like so many of us in the '70s, we found it.

Could the garment and appliance industries be in cahoots together, creating an artificial sock demand to keep us buying?

John Muir, the famous naturalist, wrote in his journal that you should never go to Alaska as a young man because you'll never be satisfied with any other place as long as you live. And there's a lot of truth to that.

The emphasis in 'Notting Hill' was perhaps, I thought, slightly more on the romance than on the comedy. But I think 'Mickey Blue Eyes' is maybe slightly more on the comedy. And the tone on 'Mickey Blue Eyes,' it's a far sillier film.

I was never the class clown, and I've no idea where the comedy came from.

I think so. I can't think of anything that requires more finesse than comedy, both from a verbal and visual point of view.

I would love to do a comedy, and I think physical comedy is something I probably have a knack on.
