Talk about handicap - I'm a one-eyed Negro Jew.

All I really had was my talent. Without that I wouldn't be welcome at the White House.

My talent was the weapon, the power, the way for me to fight. It was the one way I might hope to affect a man's thinking.

There are lines that I know are going to get a belly laugh, but after a few shows I get sick of hearing myself say them so I drop them.

My home has always been show business.

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

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