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.

A world without Tony Randall is a world that I cannot recognize.

I'm 83 and a half years old and I feel fine. I feel like a teenager but I'm unable to do a lot of the things that I used to do but I enjoy life to the fullest.

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

For 50 years, acting was the reason I got up in the morning.

Fred Silverman, the head of ABC, he offered me a lot of comedy series but I told him I'd already been the best comedy series around, "The Odd Couple," and so when he saw that I did Quincy he called my agent and said, Jack turns me down? All my good series and he ends up playing an undertaker." And this was the HEAD of ABC series.

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