“When you’re in show business, people flatter you everywhere. And when you start whining and complaining about it, you’re a whiny, complaining actor. “It’s better if you just joke about it and have fun,” he said.
Leno added, “The pain is constant, so if it’s constant then you’re fine.” “Pain from a burn, after a while you get used to it and eventually it goes away, but it’s not terrible.”

He remarked that his wife was “all right”. As long as it’s not about other women and cocaine, I’m fine. It’s better to catch fire than to be with another woman!’
