You need someone to love, and something to do that you enjoy, and something to hope for, and that's enough for me.

A producer came to me about doing a memoir, and at first I thought, "Well, it's a little bland." But then I realized that almost everything that's happened to me was the result of being in the right place at the right time. And I thought "Well, luck has a lot to do with it," so I wrote it from that perspective.

I've retired so many times now it's getting to be a habit.

A lot of violence, a lot of gore in it, and I just didn't want to do that kind of thing.

I know friends of mine who have never changed their mind about anything in their lives, despite evidence from all directions. And I think if you can keep an open mind and some understanding, that helps you stay young.

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

As wonderful as they were, my parents didn't teach me anything about self-discipline, concentration, patience, or focus. If I hadn't had a family myself, I probably never would've done anything. Marriage taught me responsibility.
