Everything's getting homogenized. It seems to me like music and behavior and everything else is getting homogenized.

I wanted to be a radio announcer.

Bob Hope, like Mark Twain, had a sense of humor that was uniquely American, and like Twain, we'll likely not see another like him.

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.

I think there's kind of a wave of nostalgia going on right at the moment. You know, people recall an earlier time, which they see as a better time. And I think we just kind of evoke good thoughts when they look at us. That's the feeling I get.

I could probably play an alcoholic. I've had some experience with that.

I'm not quite as much of a curmudgeon being old. I'm not cantankerous. But otherwise, I'm about the same.
