Canadians send us great hockey players. You also send us wonderful performers, from the beginning, with Mary Pickford.

If you want good sketches, go pick up Sid Caesar. The best of Your Show of Shows. That's the greatest sketch comedy you'll ever see on television.

The phone rings and there's another Broadway show or another TV series or a movie. That's the gamble you take.

The face and the actor is great, but if you were to start out and you said, My name is Humphrey, somebody would punch you out, because that's a stupid name to have.
air
I certainly dont have any airs about myself.

Sometimes you get a call and an uncle passed away that you really liked, or a cousin or somebody else. So each day becomes a little more precious then the day that preceded it.

There were some times when we did the winter scenes in the summer, and I had to wear that silly fur coat. Oh, my Lord! I was perspiring!

There's this Lebanese lady I dearly loved who raised 13 children in Toledo, and she retired in Phoenix. She said, I get up every morning and say, Thank you, God. I do the same thing now.

I was born in 1934 and I didn't make my first movie until 1954.

Usually you'd do the summer scenes in the winter. So you're out there with a T-shirt and hope nobody sees your air that you're breathing out. We put ice cubes in our mouth to stop that from happening.

When I did a Love Boat, it would go to so many different countries, and I would travel there and get this incredible response!

You accumulate a great deal of acquaintances and friendships over the years, and you can't always spend as much time as you would like.
