I demand my right to a private life, just as I respect that right for everybody else.

Happiness is.....finding two olives in your martini when youre hungry.

Money gives me just one big thing that's really important, and that's the freedom of not having to worry about money.

I have no use for eight houses, 88 cars and 500 suits. I can't eat but one steak at a time. I don't want but one woman. It's silly to have as one's sole object in life just making money, accumulating wealth.

I'm often asked, "What is your favorite moment during the 30 years you hosted [The Tonight Show]?" I really don't have just one. The times I enjoyed the most were the spontaneous, unplanned segments that just happened, like Ed Ames' infamous "Tomahawk Toss" that produced one of the longest laughs in television history. When these lucky moments happen, you just go with them and enjoy the experience and high of the moment.

The best way to thaw a frozen turkey? Blow in it's ear.

I see a lot of new faces. Especially on the old faces.
