Political correctness? In my humor, I never talk about politics. I was never much into all that.

I've got an accountant who's been with me forty years. If he makes a mistake, he dies.

When I got out of high school, I wanted to be an actor but was getting a lot of rejections. I was getting rejected by life. My mother, God rest her soul, told me not to quit.

Al Capone's my uncle. The old days were a lot different. The Latin Casino was the big time. When I got there I figured that I was doing pretty good, because remember, I started in nothing but after hours joints. I can't even name them now, but that's how I got noticed.

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

I grew up in an Orthodox family, as I grew older, I became Conservative and that's how it ended up. But I've developed that Jewish feel to my act from my surroundings and my family.

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