I'm living in a very modest place. I have a room over-looking beautiful Claridge's Hotel. I thought it was better than paying Claridge's prices and overlooking the dump I'm living in.

Try saving when your salary is low. So after making more money, you will not be able to do this anywhere

I practice three hours daily on my violin so I won't get worse.

I believe in being honest with myself. If there's one thing I hate it's when a comedian is great and won't admit it. I've never met one like that, but if I did, I'd hate them.

I began my show business career playing violin in San Francisco at the corner of Market and Taylor. I understand that there is a theater there now.

I'm like Will Rogers, I never met a man I didn't like... well, Eichmann maybe.

Modesty is my best quality.
