My memories are beautiful because my wife Joan is English and shortly after we were married, we stayed in London and I never forgot it. We loved it so much that we've been back very often and it's always a thrill. To me, there's New York City where I was born and raised and then there's London!

Wives should be kissed - not heard.

I am very lucky because everything that I do is exciting to me. It's always new.

Achilles, without his heel, you wouldn't even know his name today.

In fact, I was too dumb to save any of the old comic books or the old artwork. I used to give them away.

If you enjoy what you do, if you are interested in what you do, I really think that's the best situation.

I hate being too serious about anything. If I'm with my friend, I want to be having fun with him or her. And if anybody is reading my story, I want them to be not only reading the story, but I want them to feel they're having fun; that they're enjoying it. So any way you can make it more informal, more fun-filled, more amusing - instead of just a dry story that goes on and on - if there's any way to do that, I like to try and do it.
