Frank Sinatra enjoyed my humor, so I could say almost anything to him. I mean, within reason.

Famous people are deceptive. Deep down, they're just regular people. Like Larry King. We've been friends for forty years. He's one of the few guys I know who's really famous. One minute he's talking to the president on his cell phone, and then the next minute he's saying to me, Do you think we ought to give the waiter another dollar?

Well, I call myself an actor. I always wanted to be one.

Eddie Fisher married to Elizabeth Taylor is like me trying to wash the Empire State Building with a bar of soap.

Whatever you do to gain success, you have to hang in there and hope good things happen. Always think positive.

You lose your energy, you lose that excitement and it gets the audience up.

I think they [Martin Scorsese, Johnny Carson, Frank Sinatra] liked my honesty. My personality. For that, they always treated me great. I, in turn, treated them great. No secret about it. My being who I am - that is that.
