Try and stay sober. Until the curtain call. And for God's sake, have fun. Don't suffer for your art. Just have fun.

Here is Mike Wallace, who is visible to the public, and I have been watching him since the early '50s. Smoking up a storm and insulting his guests and being absolutely wonderfully evil and charming too.

You're only two years older than me, darling. Where have you been all my life?

I don't want death to suddenly interrupt what I'm doing. I don't like the idea of death at all.

Sometimes you have to look into a mirror and look at the worst you could have been if you're ever going to know the best you were meant to be.

Try and stay sober. Until the curtain call. And for God's sake, have fun. Don't suffer for your art. Just have fun.

Most of my life I have played a lot of famous people but most of them were dead so you have a poetic license.
