I'm Liberace without a piano.

Learning lines is on my mind until I do know them. I'll read the paper or paint the house to keep from starting to memorize. I've never found an easy way.

Food was a constant topic of conversation in our household.

Mothers don't want to pinch me or put me in their purse.

The dining room in my old house was truly magnificent, but by far the worst room for conversation. I'd get up from the table, a very long table, and somebody would always say, Paul, I never got to talk to you.

Politicians... talk in generalities and lies, and I think they've caused all our grief. They're so awful, they're really funny. I hate thinking this because my dad loved politics.

When I said I didn't have a cent, I didn't. I used to get annoyed with people who said they were broke when they had five dollars.
