    Q. Your '80s exercise videos were called Do It Debbie's Way and Couples Do It Debbie's Way. How many people do you figure rented them by accident, thinking they were porn?

    A. I hope everybody.

    Q. What would get better ratings, this movie or if the four of you just got in a catfight?

    A. Women are much more bonded together today. We see a lot of women being left for younger women.

    Q. I'm not going to do that.

    A. I know you're not. Because you would leave for a younger guy.

    Q. I'm not gay.

    A. Most of my friends are gay. I find very creative people are.

    Q. I'm not that creative. I had fantasies about your daughter as Princess Leia. Can you put in a good word for me?

    A. If she could meet somebody funny like you that's straight, that would be ideal. Anyway, you're going to watch this movie, right?

    Q. I can't wait.

    A. You're going to love it because we talk about the penis a lot.
