I always preferred working with somebody so I could look into their eyeballs and play tennis.

I'm glad I was born when I was. My time was the golden age of variety. If I were starting out again now, maybe things would happen for me, but it certainly would not be on a variety show with 28 musicians, 12 dancers, two major guest stars, 50 costumes a week by Bob Mackie - the networks just wouldn't spend the money today.

What I do when I write is I just write the way I would tell it, so it comes out just exactly the way I would talk to you.

What I like to write about is stuff I know. I don't think I could write a novel. I don't think I have it in me to come up with those kinds of characters.

I've always been able to recount things and I have a really good memory about dialog and what people have said before and this and that.

I don't remember a time when I wasn't waiting for a scab either to grow or to fall off my knee.

If you want to know the feeling [of labor pain], just take your bottom lip and pull it over your head.
