I started in 1946 in radio. I was ten years old. I was discovered singing in a school play. Someone was in the audience and it's six degrees of separation.

I don't wonder about anything. I'm too old to wonder. I think the most important thing is to wake-up with a pulse. I look in the obituary columns. If I'm not in it, I get out of bed.

I think you can tell the human condition better through comedy.

I used to work, part time, in a deli, in those days when your parents made you work just so you should know what work was like. And you'd make 4, 5, 6, ten dollars.

You're at the top of your game if you do comedy.

I guess I work well with others I handle younger actors well.

I never learned to cook; I was a little spoiled as far as that's concerned.
