10 years ago, I would've host Saturday Night Live. But to me, the show has declined. For some reason, humor isn't what it was. It just, to me, it's not as funny as it was, not as sharply satirical.

In my seventies, I exercised to stay ambulatory. In my eighties, I exercise to avoid assisted living.

Young people ask me for advice, and I tell them to do what I didn't do. Get some training. I took jobs that required talents I didn't have.

Everybody knows that I'm shorter, but it doesn't bother me at all.

I would love to see Carl Reiner working in the arena today. He did some marvelous things on our show in the early '60s when it was a little edgy. We did shows about blacks, a couple, three of those. Some thought-provoking stuff.

I was lucky to get the kinds of parts I wanted. I always said I didn't want to do anything my kids can't see.

I worked nightclubs all through my 20s, and I was a teetotaler.
