I loved the towns I grew up in as a boy, and after I became a celebrity, I went back several times. I would have had the time of my life seeing the old places and the old faces again, but the attitude of those same people was, "I guess you're so big we bore you now."

I can't go anywhere without being bugged by somebody. I'd love to just hike out down the street, or drop in a restaurant, or wander in the park, or take my kids somewhere without collecting a trail of people. But I can't.

My success just evolved from working hard at the business at hand each day.

If it weren't for Philo T. Farnsworth, inventor of television, we'd still be eating frozen radio dinners.

There was this billy goat at a movie studio who found and ate a can of film. When a nanny asked him how he liked it, he said, "It was all right but I liked the book better."

Everybody I meet in public seems to want to audition for me. If I ask a guy what time it is, he'll sing it to me.

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