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

Regis Philbin is very successful in his own right. We have a new thing where he have chairs and we sit and talk to each other about my career and his career. It works pretty well if I do say so.

Some people say funny things - but I say things funny.

When someone says to me, do you do stand-up I say absolutely not. I like to think of it as a theatrical performance. With me the show changes maybe five to ten percent every night. Of course, whatever I see in front of me and sometimes I get on a little run about it and it changes the show. And my delivery is such that people who have seen me many times say Gee, I never heard that before. Actually, they have, but I might have changed it around.

When you enter a room, you have to kiss his ring. I don't mind, but he has it in his back pocket.

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

Some people call me a legend and the last of the greats, and I appreciate it.
