This time I particularly loved because it came from a real experience with my grandchildren. Having them alone alone for the first time for six or seven days and going "Wow, this is exhausting," because when you're not around little ones for a long time, you forget about how much work that is. So I came in and started writing the story that became this movie ['PARENTAL GUIDANCE'].

Every time I was with Sammy [Davis Jr.] it was like going to the show business museum because the stories were so extraordinary, and I didn't care if they were true or not after a while. ... I don't know if he really got high with Humphrey Bogart or not. It didn't matter because he was painting these fantastic pictures.

I have 40-something intros [that Davis Jr. did]; all are different, none of them happened. And it was hilarious.

I always was a performer, from the time I was little. It was always a natural place for me to be.

I had really good hearing and when you're scared it gets heightened so you hear scratching noises or something.

Nobody is more truthful when he's acting than De Niro.
