I knew most of the people there who ran the places, a lot of wiseguys. They're all gone now. All good people.

I used to play golf. I wanted to be a better player, but after a while I realized I'd always stink. And that's when I really started to enjoy the game.

I take pride in being very unique in what I do. Nobody else can do what I do and I don't mean to say that egotistically, it's just something in my personality.

I've never been mean-spirited, in my opinion. I never did anything below the belt.

I was with George Washington at Valley Forge, sitting around before an attack... gimme a break. That's over 70 years ago already.

I've never had a writer, and I'm proud of that. Everything I've per­formed has been from my own head.

You got to have a lot of courage. Secondly, whatever it is you're doing you have to believe in it wholeheartedly. Thirdly, you have to be able to stand up in front of people and know that they'll laugh.
