My brother and I laughed a lot as kids. We came up in the middle of the Depression, and neither one of us knew we were poor. We had nothing, but we didn't know it.

I've never been what you'd call a great singer, but I loved to sing.

I got into a Broadway show before I ever sang and danced. I learned how after I got in the show.

I was the class clown, you know, that kind of thing, and I gathered around me a group of guys who also were silly. I was in all the plays and everything. But I don't know, at that time show businesses looked like the moon, you know, it was so far away. I wanted to be a radio announcer.

Moses probably danced a little, right? You don't part the Red Sea without having some moves.

I would love to be Moses.
