I wrote three books about growing up in the Bronx. ”

When I was 20-something, 30, I fell down a flight of stairs and hurt my back. I went to a therapist who said don't get out of bed until you do certain stretches, and I've been doing them ever since. I guess I'm the original yogi. ”

I figure I'm just one of many people. I'm not that different from anybody else, and I don't have great language, highfalutin' language - I'm very ordinary. So I figure if I write about myself, other people with similar feelings and experiences would go, 'Oh, that's me.' ”

You can get the best out of people if they're happy and not worried or not frightened that they're going to make a mistake. ”

I've lived through the Great Depression. ”

New Girl' is funny. I love Zooey Deschanel. She's the most charming thing around. ”

The Dick Van Dyke Show' was my labor of love. When asked the best thing I ever did - that was it. I wrote it originally for myself. ”

I love tweeting. ”

If you write, write about what you do and who you are, and you can't be wrong. Don't lie about anything. You are very similar to everybody else in the world. You love, you hate, you have friends, you have enemies. Be who you are. ”

The key to longevity is to interact with other people. ”
