I'd rather be a flop at show business than to be a success at something I didn't like.

Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city.

None of us kids had a middle name. We were lucky we had any name at all. By the time my mother got around to naming one, there was another on the way.

It's one of the old show business axioms. No matter how successful you've been, there's always a younger and sexier seal coming along.

Retire? I'm going to stay in show business until I'm the only one left

And God said 'Let there be Satan, so people don't blame everything on me. And let there be lawyers, so people don't blame everything on Satan.'

I thought to myself, 'why not write a bestseller?' In the first place, more people buy them and more people read them. You make more money and it doesn’t take any more time to write a bestseller than it does to write a book nobody buys.
