Charlie Puth tells nj.com when he returns home to New Jersey there is only one place he wants to eat at. “Maybe this will sound kind of anticlimactic because it’s a huge franchise, but the McDonald’s in Shrewsbury would be the first place I went to. It was the first place I went to when I got my driver’s permit, and I was 17 years old. No, that was No. 1 Chinese Food next to Superstar Nails. Fair Haven was the first place I drove to. The second place was the McDonald’s in Shrewsbury and just getting an atrocious amount of food before school, the stuff I could never eat today.”

I wouldn't do it really if I was asked because you don't fix something that's already fixed. That movie I don't think can be rebooted in the way that Leslie Nielsen and I did it. It was just a great relationship and friendship and we got along great on the set and that was just all fun and what a great experience. Now, in this one, gosh, the actors who are playing the characters, I can't see it visually. Maybe it will come across as great, but I wouldn't be a part of it."

I was so excited that some nights I would find myself out at some party sharing a flirtatious exchange with an attractive woman and cut the conversation short so I could race home and see if a new fax had arrived. Nine times out of ten, one had. Dating Julia Roberts had been too much for me. I had been constantly certain that she was going to break up with me. Why would she not? I was not enough; I could never be enough; I was broken, bent, unlovable. So instead of facing the inevitable agony of losing her, I broke up with the beautiful and brilliant Julia Roberts. She might have considered herself slumming it with a TV guy, and TV guy was now breaking up with her. I can’t begin to describe the look of confusion on her face.''

And if you go on Twitter or social media, people ask about Miyagi, who, in essence, is the secret sauce of the film because of the character and [Pat Morita’s] performance. Who was that guy?

What happened after he loses his wife and child in the internment camps? How does this guy come from Okinawa to a place where he was working as a maintenance guy at an apartment building? What’s that full story? So, yeah, there are discussions, but that’s all I have.”
