Modesty is not one of my virtues.

You know you are getting old when people tell you how good you look.

Larry David finds a way to make jokes about the Holocaust. It would never have occurred to me. And it was funny.

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

When I get up in the morning, I have to decide what I'm going to have for dinner or I can't get through the day.

The ability to absorb a book and make someone else's words and story your own was exactly was I was doing on stage.

I had a sympathetic role in 'thirtysomething,' and in two weeks I'm going to do the role again. But in the movies, I just love the heavies. It's much more fun. Villains are a ball. People have been laughing at me for 50 years, so I love to sit in the back of the theater and listen to them hate me.
