> In his new memoir, Runaway Train: Or the Story of My Life So Far, the prolific character actor apologizes to his sister for saying he made her famous. “Now one of the things I’d like to apologize for in this book is for publicly saying on more than one occasion, ‘If it wasn’t for me, there would be no Julia Roberts,’” Roberts writes. “That’s not only unfortunate, but it’s also untrue. And I hope Julie will accept this more public apology. It was an asinine thing to have said. I was proud of her, but it was pride turned on its head, to my own advantage.”
> Roberts notes that Julia could have easily succeeded without his intervention. “She’s a very driven woman,” he says. “Someone would have plucked her out of the crowd in a place like New York without my help.”

He’s a pathetic douchebag! He desperately wants credit for all of HER hard work.
