I've never been mean-spirited, in my opinion. I never did anything below the belt.
Show business is my life. When I was a kid I sold insurance, but nobody laughed.

Italians are fantastic people, really. They can work you over in an alley while singing an opera.
I'm not a big one for jokes. I can't tell a joke, believe it or not. If you gave me a thousand bucks and said, "Don, get up at a party and tell a joke," I'm the worst.
