I still think funny, and people young and old still come and see me. That's flattering. The day comes that they stop coming, then I'll know that it's time to retire to the Jewish ranch.

I have no idea what I'm going to say when I stand up to give a toast. But I do know that anything I say I find funny.

I've never walked off stage and said, I shouldn't have done that. Because when you do what I do, you're like a fighter. You throw the right hand and say, That's what got me to this dance. You can't have doubt. If you have doubt, there's no show.

I've never been able to tell jokes. In the beginning of my career I did impressions and jokes like any other comedian, but I was never very successful because I did it poorly. So I started to talk to the audience and started talking about the atmosphere around me and started to become angry, not in a mean-spirited way, but in a fun way - and my attitude developed from there.

Everything I do on stage, I made up in saloons. I started doing it in front of people, and that became my performance. I never had writers.

My health, thank God, has kept my brain alive.

Political correctness? In my humor, I never talk about politics. I was never much into all that.
