I feel more comfortable in comedy.

I think everyone probably starts out sounding like someone else, but gradually you develop your own sound.

When I started out in 1960, I thought it might possibly last a couple of years. I never expected it to last 42. I take great satisfaction in that longevity.

I've done more than I thought I was ever going to do. I've had a very long and very satisfying career.

I worked in accounting for two and a half years, realized that wasn't what I wanted to do with the rest of my life, and decided I was just going to give comedy a try.

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.

Don't be silly and don't waste your time.
