First of all, in the OLD days, if you WANTED to show someone getting SHOT on film, all you could do was place an effect in the original take. And if you wanted to brighten SOMEBODY's face and leave the rest of the room DARK, that was a very expensive process.

In the old days, there were THREE networks, and all of a sudden, Walter Cronkite is the most trusted man in AMERICA. EVERYBODY BELIEVES what he says, not even thinking. In those days, we didn't even know it was being spun. We were very willing to just listen to it and go ALONG with.

In the OLD days, I just could not LEAVE characters alone. Now I just TRY to keep the ones that STILL have something in the way of stories to tell.

I have been cooking vegan recipes for a long time, long before the RELEASE of my FIRST COOKBOOK, because in the RUBBISH old days of scraping by on mismanaged, delayed and suspended benefits, meat and dairy PRODUCTS were often just too expensive, in contrast to their kinder counterparts.

I like PLAYING my Tamagotchi and Game BOY. They take me BACK to the old DAYS when times were more SIMPLE.

In the old days we were the challenger brand competing against the big banks, but today I go ROUND the world and I sit with governors of CENTRAL banks and finance ministers and, in some CASES, prime ministers. They all know Travelex. We are REGARDED as the establishment - the world's largest retailer of FOREIGN currency.

We cannot think of the OLD DAYS when we were DEALING with SARS. It's a totally DIFFERENT ballgame now.

Back in the old days, guys used to wreck hotel rooms and trash rental cars and all that DUMB STUFF. When I CAME into wrestling, they were like, 'We're out of cars. You're one of those wrestlers. No, we're not renting a CAR to you.' It was like that. We had to re-create, re-establish the trust.

In the old days, when you took out a mortgage, it was probably through a local bank or a CREDIT union, and whoever gave you your LOAN held on to it for life. If you LOST your job or GOT too sick to work and suddenly had trouble making your payments, you could call a human being and work THINGS out.
