I went from being an ailing child to a public enemy.

I'm awkward at these things. Just being nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for Karate Kid was a real surprise and I was a little uncomfortable.

I'm in semi-retirement, but what am I going to retire to? I don't ride horses, I don't golf anymore. I shoot a game of pool every now and then.

Only in America could you get away with the kind of comedy I did.

I didn't have a childhood.

I began in an era where four-letter words were not allowed.
