There aren't many pratfalls in comedy anymore.

I found doing that kind of comedy without an audience is just... for me, it's almost impossible. You need the audience to do their half of the work.

I've met presidents, but I've never performed for one. I said it was the first time in 50 years I actually had butterflies. You know, the Obamas were sitting out there, the Supreme Court, Maya Angelou, and Desmond Tutu for God's sake, all in the front row.

We all know we're going to die. We're all circling the drain. Some of us are closer than others. I'm 90, I know I'm closer to the drain than most people.

Sing like nobody can hear you, dance like nobody can see you, and love like you've never been hurt.

Somebody asked what I wanted on my gravestone. I'm just going to put: 'Glad I Could Help.'

I'm not a loner. I have to have a life partner.
