I was at the pinnacle of my career one day and the next day I was put out to pasture. I felt like a race horse with a broken leg.

Walter Matthau made all the big money and he was wonderful as Oscar Madison on the stage. You couldn't beat him. I know because I replaced him on Broadway. He was just delightful.

Time is very important to art and if you don't have the time to select, art goes out the window.

Suddenly it was gone. I'd lost more than my voice and my career. I'd lost my best friend.

Some days when I start to talk, my voice isnt strong. But then it warms up.

I was happy because I was acting. Most of the time for nothing. But I was learning and to learn that you can learn opens up the world for you.

I love the theater because I love the live audience and when we went three cameras we have a live audience in the study so we had someone to play to and react to. That laughter.
