If you put all your strength and faith and vigor into a job and try to do the best you can, the money will come.

One time I introduced my orchestra as the Shampoo Music Makers instead of the Champagne Music Makers.

If I live to be 90, and I'm planning to, I'll always love performing for a live audience.

To be granted some kind of usable talent and to be able to use it to the fullest extent of which you are capable - this, to me, is a kind of joy that is almost unequaled.

I just wrote a book, but don't go out and buy it yet, because I don't think it's finished yet.

You know, it's a long world.

I always worried I'd forget my lines or say the wrong words or the audience would laugh in the wrong places.
