I have two kids who were like me, we get out of bed feeling good, and the other two would sit at the breakfast table and grumble. I think it's born into us. I usually wake up feeling pretty good. Looking forward to the day.

I was the worst game show host that ever lived, and I knew it.

I always loved to dance, but I never had a clue what I was doing.

I found out retirement means playing golf, or I don't know what the hell it means. But to me, retirement means doing what you have fun doing.

There are tribes all over the world who sing and dance every day as part of their lives. And we oughta do that.

We spent a lot of time together and had a great time with Mary Tyler Moore. And just working with her was like improv.

I wanted to be Stan Laurel, then I wanted to be Fred Astaire and then Captain Kangaroo. I actually started out as a radio announcer when I was 17 and never left the business so that's literally 70 years.
