It is as big a mistake to turn down a good shot as it is to take a bad one

I keep telling people I'll make movies until I'm fifty and then I'll go and do something else. I'm going to be a professional gentleman of leisure.

I just voted for Jesse Jackson !

How can music without any words make you think? I listen to jazz when I'm doing something else. I use it for background music, I don't just sit down and concentrate on it. Lyrics, words - that's what makes me think.

I’m a comedian who got into movies, so I don’t really think of myself as an actor.

My first concert makes me sound like a real old man. My very first concert was Jackie Wilson.

Every bad decision I've made has been based on money.
