And to Tom Cruise, for if you had won this, your asking price would have gone down so fast. Do you have any idea what supporting actors get paid? We get only one trailer, a small one, in the back.

My wife, my daughters, even my grandchildren are funny. You've got to keep a sense of humor because anger destroys you.

My father was a fish market porter. So I grew up on fish, because he used to steal one a day, I grew up on the very best fish that money could buy, 'cause he only stole the good stuff.

At 69, I got the girl! And it wasn't a 68-year-old girl, either.
