Why does he need a career? He’s a zillionaire.

I have a Catholic friend who knows Mel and once asked him why he still has to make films as he can just sit pretty the rest of his life.

His response -- Ennui and Boredom. He's got to do something to make living worthwhile. He just has the URGE to do something.

And he’s doing something — not necessarily good things.

Maybe he should get into collecting stamps or something. Would certainly cause him less trouble.

The fact that he knows the term “Ennui” at all is a tribute.
I would wager that at least 95% of Americans wouldn’t have a clue...
