If you can feel like a good man in your 40s, you can feel like a better man in your 50s, a Superman in your 60s, and maybe a Spider-Man in your 70s.

I know how the Academy Awards works: It's a card game, and I'm in the toss-up category.

I don't parade my family out for display, which is the way it will stay. Yet I have a reputation for being cooperative with the press.
