I think stutterers are funny. And I know it's rude and politically incorrect to laugh at stutterers. But I think it is okay because I know why they're funny. They make people nervous.

I knew real show business from my father, who had been an actor since he left the world of boxing.

I consider myself a novice film actor.

The one constant through all the years has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It's been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt, and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game, is a part of our past. It reminds us of all that once was good, and what could be again.

Don't you try and go through life worried if someone had liked you or not. You best make sure that they are doing right by you.
