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

Alan King, a comedian I adored, was considered society, and I was considered the Jewish kid from the neighborhood.

I have no idea what I'm going to say when I stand up to give a toast. But I do know that anything I say I find funny.

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

I think they [Martin Scorsese, Johnny Carson, Frank Sinatra] liked my honesty. My personality. For that, they always treated me great. I, in turn, treated them great. No secret about it. My being who I am - that is that.

The man I adored, and miss him terribly, was Johnny Carson.

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.
