The documentary, "His Way," which debuts on cable channel HBO on Monday, includes amusing tales from Weintraub about working with Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra and John Denver, as well as interviews with George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts and former President George H.W. Bush. Weintraub, now 73, who also released a memoir last year, talked to Reuters about what it takes to make it in showbiz. Q: What did you learn growing up in the Bronx? A: "That was a great training ground for character and honesty and friendship and loyalty." Q: You're known as a tenacious individual and producer. Where did your tenacity come from? A: "It started when I was about 11. I wanted a jacket and my father gave me an example of how you get a jacket -- 'First you get a job, then you get coin, then you get a jacket, that's how it works'." Q: How did you sign Elvis to a tour without knowing him? A: "I don't listen to people when they say no. And I don't listen to people when they tell me that I have a bad idea ... and that's my tenacity. I just keep going until it gets done. I called (Elvis' manager) every day for a year, every morning it was my first call." Q: Clearly you have never been afraid of rejection? A: "No, rejection is part of life!" Q: You had a falling out with singer John Denver and your friends in the film say you took it harder than you showed? A: "It mattered to me on a personal level because I found him and nurtured him and I brought him along. And I put a lot of time and effort and energy into him, and love. And so I had a broken heart, but not a broken wallet." Q: Moving onto Hollywood, your role in helping make Robert Altman's "Nashville"... A: "I didn't help, I made it (laughs). I am only kiddin'... I get up smiling every day and I make jokes all day and I laugh all day, because this is all craziness and I am in some kind of zone now. I feel like I am on another planet." 1 2 3 Next Entertainment Fashion Film People Lifestyle Tweet this Share this Link this Digg this Email Reprints We welcome comments that advance the story directly or with relevant tangential information.
