I don't think anyone ever gets over the surprise of how differently one audience's reaction is from another.

Home schooling as an idea is on a par with home dentistry.

I would not ever try to be a show intellectual, which I was accused of doing a while on ABC. I thought you were supposed to read the guests' books.

Electronic devices dislike me. There is never a day when something isn't ailing.

All three of my parents - I also had a stepmother - were teachers, and my dad taught high school, and as he always reminded me when I was going to spend some money on something, 'Your mother and I, in the Depression, had to decide whether to spend a dime on a loaf of bread or if we could go to a movie with it.'

I feel like I've been watching Irwin Corey forever. I saw him in the 1950s, and I thought he was old then.

I have a long list of things that make me mad.
