Quote
1
I love John Madden because he makes me feel smart.
2
[about celebrities who might not like his impressions of them] I don't do these things to be mean, I do them to make money.
3
You know what I would do? I would remake The Wizard of Oz (1938) with Robin Williams, and that's it. Just let him do the whole dang thing by himself.
