As H.L. Mencken once said, 'nobody ever when broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people.' Our show [All in the Family] countered that witticism. I think he was wrong.

My dad called me meat head dead from the neck up.

Next up [new TV stars] was [Dean] Martin and [Jerry] Lewis on 'The Colgate Comedy Hour.'

When I countered that Archie Bunker didn't have to put down a race of people to say that, he replied, 'and you're the dumbest white kid I've ever met.'

When something is over, it is over.

Life goes on pretty much the same way. I've been working on a couple of films on the side. You may see some more. You may even see another television show.

Life is about having a good time, and it was a good time. We did some things well and some things poorly, but that was always the case.
