'The Show' was the most fun I ever had and the most creative period of my life.

I grew up in Danville, Illinois, right in the middle of the state.

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

A lot of the guilt didn't help my drinking at that point. I never expected a divorce to happen in my life particularly, but it just slowly happened. My wife was proud of me, but she hated the business, and for good reason. The spouses get moved, shoved aside, and ignored, and it's just, it's terrible.

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

Only funny line I've had was my first day on the set of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. They were making me up, and I saw the director call the makeup man over, and he says "What are we going to do about the hooter?" And the makeup guy said, "I'm not a plastic surgeon." So I started that show with a big nose, and quite conscious of it.

When I get some budding young comic who'll come up to me and say, 'What was it like to do it in those days?' I try to be as gracious to him as Stan Laurel was to me.
