I think one reason for a successful marriage is laughter. I think laughter gets you through the rough moments in a marriage.

Laughter gives us distance. It allows us to step back from an event, deal with it and then move on.

In today's world, you would call my father mostly unaccessible. I'm not sure that isn't true of most fathers at that time. He went through the Depression. I don't know what that would have done to my psyche.

I was never a Certified Public Accountant. I just had a degree in accounting. It would require passing a test, which I would not have been able to do.

I think you should be a child for as long as you can. I have been successful for 74 years being able to do that. Don't rush into adulthood, it isn't all that much fun.

I feel more comfortable in comedy.
