“When Jennifer won the Oscar I gave her a gift of a Liberty box, filled with 200 crickets. What I didn’t calculate was that when you fill a box with 200 crickets, many of them spill out in your hotel room, and hop under your bed and behind your dresser. So I couldn’t sleep for about a week with the sound of these crickets.”
