Clint, I say it, nobody else has said it, but I say it from my heart: You're a lousy actor.
Well, I just wanted to say to you, Larry, as a favor, please don't call me anymore. I think this was an absolute waste. This will not change my life one bit. I personally feel your show is not going to make it much longer, really. You're an annoying guy sitting there in your little funny little…
I gotta tell you, with all the nonsense and all the jokes, I want to tell you from the bottom of my heart: Merv Griffin told me he never liked you.
Remember when you were governor and you used to walk over to my table? Now you're big and you're getting on my nerves?
Make yourself at home, Frank. Hit somebody.
Hi, dum dum….Where does it say you butt in, dummy? I'm fed up with you already, you know that? That's it, laugh it up. You're making $50 million a year and your poor parents are back in Nebraska eating locusts for dinner.
We kid about great stars such as you Bob, why? Because you're old and washed up.
They warned me what a serious guy De Niro is….They warned me not to make jokes. So the third day of shooting, I looked him straight in the face and told him: 'I can't work with you. You can't act.' The guy fell on the floor. He didn't stop laughing for 18 weeks. Scorsese fell on the floor too, but…
Oh, there's the black guy from 'The Unit'... now he works for Allstate.
It's sweet of you, Dave — I know your busy schedule of going to the bank and trying to figure out what the hell you do.
Bob, I'm so happy for you, but do us a favor: Get off the air. How long [are you going to do this]? The soldiers, the Navy, they're getting tired. Every time there's a war, you're right there. In Iran, they're fed up, they're fighting and you go, 'I wanna tell you...' with your golf club. It's over.…
But why am I here tonight, Jerry? Because you could get hot again.
You were all marvelous, really you were. I [could spend] all night saying how great you were...except De Niro was weak.
