I was a high school throw-out.

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

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.

I think one of the big things about comedy is the ability for the audience to identify.

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

Milton took vaudeville, which, if you look up 'vaudeville' in the dictionary, right alongside of it, it says 'Milton Berle' - and he made it just a tremendous party.

My father helped me leave. He said, 'It's all out there, it's not here.'
