You've got to be able to sell yourself.
The man I adored, and miss him terribly, was Johnny Carson.
It's very sweet to have people say nice things about you, and I always accept that.
I've got an accountant who's been with me forty years. If he makes a mistake, he dies.
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.
When you're 18, you're just so busy being scared and having fun - a crazy mixture - that you never thought of dying.
