I have also heard and read various accounts of why they [Sheldon Leonard and Carl Reiner] liked me. My favorites? I wasn't too good-looking, I walked a little funny, and I was basically kind of average and ordinary. I guess my lack of perfection turned out to be a winning hand. Let that be a lesson for future generations.

Put me on solid ground and I'll start tapping! At my age they say to keep moving.

When I started having kids, I thought, 'I don't want to do anything they can't watch.'

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 watch 'Al Jazeera.' They have news that you can't find anywhere else. They do great documentaries, too.

I've made peace with insecurity... because there is no security of any kind.

So as my kids will tell you, they had a pretty normal life.
