I don't mind being 65, but nobody is gonna tell me to come in at 5:30 to have the early bird special.

My mother kept the house clean and we ate good. I didn't know we were poor until I started giving interviews.

I won't eat in a place that has suits of armor.

Everything my mother made had to cook for 80 hours, and when she made matzoh balls she didn't know fluffy. Everything sank.

And humor has always been a weapon. You want to get even on somebody? You want to attack somebody? Make fun of them.

One thing I've never said in my whole life is, 'Let's have dinner at a Japanese restaurant.'

My mother's sister was killed in a trolley car accident, so I was raised as one of eight with my sister and six male cousins.
