needs enough enjoy
You need someone to love, and something to do that you enjoy, and something to hope for, and that's enough for me.
habit retired
I've retired so many times now it's getting to be a habit.
hate
Haters are going to hate.
loner partners life-partner
I'm not a loner. I have to have a life partner.
I've never been what you'd call a great singer, but I loved to sing.
moving circles way
I was always in show business but in many ways was not really of show business. I didn't move in show business circles, particularly, still don't do it.
sex thinking people
So I think we're kind of an alternate choice for people who have had it with sex and violence.
office british shows
I like 'The Office.' I particularly like the British version with Ricky Gervais. Of course, I liked the 'Seinfeld' show a lot. I thought that was an awfully good show.
brother kids poor
My brother and I laughed a lot as kids. We came up in the middle of the Depression, and neither one of us knew we were poor. We had nothing, but we didn't know it.
moving age keep-moving
Put me on solid ground and I'll start tapping! At my age they say to keep moving.
kids lucky want
I was lucky to get the kinds of parts I wanted. I always said I didn't want to do anything my kids can't see.
thinking people choices
Some people never change their mind through their whole lives, about anything, despite new information that comes in. And now that we know that homosexuality is not a choice, it's biological, I think we have to love and understand them.
jobs school weekend
So at 16 I got a job at the local radio station. And I was working after school and weekends. I did the news; I did everything. I did - played records.
children two adults
Walt Disney and I always said we were two children looking for our inner adults.
