I don't get into politics. I know [Donald] Trump, but I don't follow that. That's just an aside for him when he has nothing else to say. He never involved me in any of that stuff.

I was with George Washington at Valley Forge, sitting around before an attack... gimme a break. That's over 70 years ago already.

I still have drive, but everything is relative.

My father when walked into a room, you could tell that everybody loved him. They really did. He was quite a man. My mother was more into the show biz atmosphere than he was.

Italians are fantastic people, really. They can work you over in an alley while singing an opera.

My father wasn't much for show business. He was an insurance man - very well-liked, very warm. He had a lot of friends.

To my knowledge, I was the first guy really to do what I do. And then later on different comedians started trying doing it.
