Who am I to judge is what I say. I'm 90 years old, for crying out loud, and I don't sit in any chariot.

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.

My main success was an attitude. Always an attitude.

You can't study comedy; it's within you. It's a personality. My humor is an attitude.

I'm always watching films. The Academy pretty much sends me every film that's ever been done. I enjoy watching them, especially with the people I know.

Women were afraid of me, they were scared to death. But I always say be yourself, if you're funny then let your sense of humor go there. I mean there's no sense hiding what you feel.
