Tom Hanks: Self

Quotes 

• Garth Brooks : I gotta ask you, man, what do you do with all the Oscars?

  Tom Hanks : I get that question all the time. I have one on my book shelf next to a picture of my children, I have one in the bathroom just to keep me humble, and I have a line of them in the back of the garage so that when I pull in, they reflect and I don't bump into the wall.

• Jon Lovitz : Tom! You are one of the greatest hosts of all time so I was wondering

  [hopefully] 

  Jon Lovitz : who your favorite cast member that you every got to work with?

  Tom Hanks : Well that's a tough one but I'd have to say Will Ferell. That guy is gonna make it. Very talented.

• Christopher Walken : I want to know how much of the show is scripted and how much crazy make'em up: you know, addlibs, improvs.

  Tom Hanks : A legitimate question. Contrary to popular belief, the show is not improvised. SNL has a great staff of writers that craft every line of the show.

  Christopher Walken : When I host, I say whatever I want. I free associate and I make up the skits and things like that and people seem to enjoy it.

• Jon Lovitz : Hey Tom! If you like Will Ferrell so much why don't you marry him?

  Tom Hanks : Oh come on, Jon, what do you want me to do? You want me to lie and say Jon Lovitz is my favorite cast member?

  Jon Lovitz : He said it! He said it! Yes! Did you hear him? Jon Lovitz is his favorite cast member! And we're best friends!
