You've got to change with the public's taste.

I'm an interpreter of stories. When I perform it's like sitting down at my piano and telling fairy stories.

I often wonder whether Negroes like myself who are pretty well known help out at all in breaking down barriers.

The only prejudice I've found anywhere in TV is in some advertising agencies, and there isn't so much prejudice as just fear.

I make no claim to being a business genius. You can make so much money in this business that it loses its value.

The only sport I'm not interested in is horse racing. That's because I don't know the horses personally.
