I have to warn you, I'm not just some sitcom guy. I'm now an author. ”

I have no intention of retiring; I can't imagine not doing stand-up. That's where I started and where I'll be. ”

I think you should be a child for as long as you can. I have been successful for 74 years being able to do that. Don't rush into adulthood, it isn't all that much fun. ”

I'm very open to the up-and-comers. ”

I've been a very lucky actor. ”

This stammer got me a home in Beverly Hills, and I'm not about to screw with it now. ”
