When you talk about the world's greatest entertainer you have to say Al Jolson because there was no one like him. Only Judy Garland and perhaps Frank Sinatra got anywhere near him!

No matter how often I tell people I'm thirty-nine some of them refuse to believe I'm that old.

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

Bill Paley is not only the greatest boss I ever had, but he's the most brilliant, honest and warm human being I've ever met. And I'll say that to his face - even if it costs me my job.

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

I'm an old newspaper-man myself, but I quit because I found there was no money in old newspapers.

It's not so much knowing when to speak, when to pause.
