I'm not a big one for jokes. I can't tell a joke, believe it or not. If you gave me a thousand bucks and said, "Don, get up at a party and tell a joke," I'm the worst.

My style is my personality. It's always been that way. Being a wiseguy and having fun. It's always been that way for me, when I was in high school, and in the Navy. It's not something I rehearse.

No matter where you go in this world, you will always find a Jew sitting in the beach chair next to you.

Whatever you do to gain success, you have to hang in there and hope good things happen. Always think positive.

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

People think being in your seventies means sitting around in a chair with a blanket over your legs, drooling.

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