Once I get outside my house in the morning, I'm on.

To appear on the stage drunk, to have them leave there and remember me making drunken mistakes, that was death.

Most orgies that you go to, I have found, most of it is sad. All that wildness, all those laughs were like the shining silver and gold paper on packages, but there was nothing inside.

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

You name it and I've done it. I'd like to say I did it my way. But that line, I'm afraid, belongs to someone else.

You have to be able to look back at your life and say, "Yeah, that was fun."

The one thing you don't want is that stale sound when you've done a line so much you can't find a fresh approach to it. Drop it.
