Let's face it: It's difficult enough to be funny without worrying about what is going to offend whom.

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

If you keep yourself alive and current, funny is funny.

I always plan dinner first thing in the morning. That's the only way I can get through the day, having a specific meal to look forward to at night.

If you stop and think about it, nearly all great humor is at the expense of someone or something.

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

There's nobody to believe in anymore, nobody to trust.
