I've had some wonderful times at the White House. I've been with Ford, Carter, Reagan, Clinton and Bush.
Once at the White House I was asked to conduct the Drum and Bugle Corp. The man just handed me the baton and I finished the song. It was great. I got to keep the baton.
I have a cooking show that's coming on that I did in Albany. It will be on The Cooking Channel
Mr. Brooks and I have been friends forever. He is in seventh heaven with his new success on Broadway.
The joys of my life are my granddaughters. They are beautiful. You don't have to believe me. You can ask my wife. She'll tell you.
Dolly Parton... I love being around that woman! I worked really hard to keep up with her.
I was at dinner with Gene Wilder and imitated Ethel Barrymore for everyone
I'd rather be at home with 12 people around the table.
There were five writers on Blazing Saddles.
Sometimes I get a little manic and you can't stop me. I'm all over the place. I have fun
When I was 14 years old, I decided I could cook. It was either that or puberty.
I think I was immediately fed, so food became a very important part of my life.
Mel is nuts. He puts on a suit and a tie and acts like a normal person so people think he's okay. He's definitely out in left field. He's got the ambition of a boy.
I'm actually a thin serious person but I play fat and funny, but only for the movies.
