My handicap? Man, I am a one-eyed, black Jew! That's my handicap!

Savor the moments that are warm and special and giggly.

I've done some things I wish I could erase. . . . I invented mistakes. But the mistakes must be seen in context, and they must be weighed along with the positives.

The only person I ever hurt was myself and even that I did to the minimum. If you can do that and you're still functioning, you're the luckiest person in the world.

Tap dancing all started with the old clog waltz.

Real success is not on the stage, but off the stage as a human being, and how you get along with your fellow man.

My home has always been show business.
