[My mother] once cooked a ham and later found it in my father's shirt drawer. I am not kidding.

I wanted to be a radio announcer.

I played a killer twice. Once on 'Matlock,' on Andy Griffith's show, I got to play the killer.

I'm the anti-Quentin Tarantino.

I do miss the rhythms of comedy. And I've never been able to perform very well without an audience. The sitcoms I've done had them. It was like doing a little play.

People think I'm talking like I'm in perfect health, but I have all the infirmities for my age. I have arthritis and all those things. But if you keep moving, that won't bother you.

I taught Sunday school when I was younger, and ended up an elder in the church, and it just seemed to me that a lot of people who went to church certainly weren't - the rest of the week - living what I would call an Christian life.
