I was a mother's boy.

Hell, do I remember the first joke? I was never a jokester.

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

To this day, to this very day, except for television, I've never had a writer. Anything I've ever done on the stage, happened on the stage and I developed it from there. It started doing impressions and jokes - which I did very poorly. To this day I can't tell a joke. That sounds nuts, but it's true. I exaggerate it and it becomes a joke. Everything I've ever done I've done out on the stage and it became a performance over many many years.

My father when walked into a room, you could tell that everybody loved him. They really did. He was quite a man. My mother was more into the show biz atmosphere than he was.

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 if I took therapy, the doctor would quit. He'd just pick up the couch and walk out of the room.
