A lot of people live much more simply than in the old days. That doesn't bother me. Keeping busy is the problem. Television guest shot fees are going down. You can do a dozen guest shots a year, but you're not making that much money.

Television allowed me to kick the Hollywood habit of typing an actor in certain roles.

The thing that made 'M*A*S*H' so good was the fact that we did have those relationships off-camera and took them on-camera.

I'd like to be remembered for being a fairly pleasant person and for having gotten along for the most part with a lot of the people I've worked with. And for having a wonderful life and for having enjoyed practically every minute of it... I think I'm one of the luckiest people in the world.
