When I guest starred on "Silver Spoons", I asked Ricky Schroder: If he was the kid who cried a lot in the movie "The Champ". He said "yes". Then he asked me if I cried when I saw the movie. I said "no"... I lied.
During the filming of "Rocky III", whenever I did a scene with Burgess Meredith, I pretended I was "Batman", and he was "The Penguin", and we were filming an episode of the old "Batman" tv show... It's fun to pretend.
I remember one time I tried to pity this fool. He told me his name was "Jeff". He was married, and he pulled out his wallet and showed me three pictures of his kids: Kelly, Robin, Brittany. [takes a drink of water] Real cute kids. Don't get too close, man. It's hard to pity a fool, if you get too close.
