ADD QUOTES
- Bruce: (on how he deals with boys dating his daughters) I'm not hard at all. I just tell them I want to meet them - that's the only thing I ask for. I just give them that look, that little look. I always put one of them in charge. If they bring a little group of guys over to the house to have a pool party or whatever, I just say, 'Dude, what's your name?' and he says, 'Uh, Cinjun.' I say, 'Cinjun, you're in charge. If anything happens to one of my daughters I'm coming to you first, and then I'm going to kill all your friends right in front of you, and you'll be last.

- Bruce: (on "Die Hard 4") I need to get in shape… I need to work out. There is a high chance the film will be out next summer. We're in the final stages of getting it all together.
