I was lucky to get the kinds of parts I wanted. I always said I didn't want to do anything my kids can't see.

I've won several Emmys, a Tony and a Grammy so maybe somebody will let me have an Oscar, and then I'll have a full set.

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

We used to get 27, 28 minutes to do a story in, and now they're lucky if they get 18 or 20 minutes. So I don't think they can really do a beginning, a middle, and an end anymore. There's an awful lot of one-line jokes; almost every line is a punchline. It's not the same, but there's still good comedy around.

I think, the 'Van Dyke Show' and 'Mary Poppins' are two of the best periods of my life. I had so much fun, I didn't want it to end.

I don't play golf. I have more fun singing and dancing.

Life is like a box of chocolates, I'm a nerd and I read books
