When I was doing theater in the 1950's, 60's and 70's we weren't allowed to film any of the shows that I did, it was against union rules. It was a stupid law, because so much is lost. We now have no record of these famous stage plays, so it turned out to be very narrow-minded thinking.

I do an act, and I've been doing an act for 50 years. I do a variety show, which is a musical comedy show. I do comedy, and I do singing, Broadway show tunes and different songs that I like. Been doing it for many, many years.

Weight has never been a problem with me because when you dance, it just stays off.

I'll be like Irving Berlin: "There's no business like show business."

I wanted to be as comfortable in that environment as she was. I moved around those areas in character.

My belief also is that Marilyn Monroe passed away long before she should have left us.

One take, so you better be ready and you better be good. One take and that was it. It was something that was spontaneous. Both Sid Caesar and Jackie Gleason was like that as well.
