The first time I got up in front of an audience was terror, abject terror, which continued for another four or five years. There still is, a little bit.

I still feel thirty, except when I try to run.

As an actor, you generally want to see the other actor's face.

More and more, as I get older, people come up to me and say, 'Thank you for all the laughter.' And my standard answer is, 'It was my pleasure.' But that's the truth.

The only thing I have never done is a Broadway play. I'm not sure I have the discipline necessary to do a Broadway play. I know it holds a fascination for certain actors.

Comedians are never really on vacation because you're always at attention... that antenna is always out there.

I've been married forty-five years. I think laughter is the secret.
