I was nice to the people in the Philippines for the two and a half years I was there, because I knew even­tually I'd have to kiss up to them so my grandchildren could have toys.

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

The old days were the old days. And they were great days. But now is now.

Women were afraid of me, they were scared to death. But I always say be yourself, if you're funny then let your sense of humor go there. I mean there's no sense hiding what you feel.

Alan King, a comedian I adored, was considered society, and I was considered the Jewish kid from the neighborhood.

So many young people think the big sex act is the whole movie, but that's not the case. You need to be able to talk and laugh and cry together.

I have to have energy because I have a lot of expenses. A couple of cars, couple of dogs and a big estate.
