Other things he said below...'What happened this year? Jada's going to boycott the Oscars. Jada boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna's panties. I wasn't invited! 'It's not an invitation I would turn down.'

'When your grandmother is swinging from a tree, it's really hard to care about best documentary foreign short.'
