That I walk around calling people 'dummy' and 'hockey puck'. I do have a different life apart from being sarcastic on stage. I might kibitz around with my friends, but I'm nothing like the person who does stand up. Nothing like that.

You throw your best punch, otherwise don't do it.

My father wasn't much for show business. He was an insurance man - very well-liked, very warm. He had a lot of friends.

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

I don't really tell a joke per se, I build up an attitude and it becomes a joke.

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.

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.
