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

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

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

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

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

My father was a dreamer - my hero. He was a smart, tough guy from Poland, a cutter of lady's handbags, an old socialist-unionist who always considered himself a failure. His big line was: 'Don't end up like me.'

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