My son says I never tell stories about anyone who's living.

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

It's not easy being a father, but I've been allowed a comeback.

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

Ed Sullivan brought me to TV first in 1952, then Garry Moore's program gave me a lot of confidence and freedom.

I just never saw my mother in any other room but the kitchen. There were always pots going.

Modesty is not one of my virtues.
