I go back there and all my friends are there when I have my golf tournament. They treat me the same way they did when I was growing up.

I am not the captain of my ship. My ship is out there, but I don't have my course. You never know in this business.

The third year of MASH was when I realized I was a hit.
hockey player wonderful
Canadians send us great hockey players. You also send us wonderful performers, from the beginning, with Mary Pickford.
television want sids
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 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 I want to go into Saturday Night Live and rewrite some of the sketches because they're really not that good.

Jewish people have given me all the breaks you can possibly have. But of course, it's wonderful when you feel that your own nationality has made it. It gives you hopes.

I do Broadway because I refuse to succumb to the stereotypical things that Hollywood does to a performer.

I don't think anybody is wanting to put me back on the air. But I'm certainly out there trying.

When the show is over we still have to pay our rent, we have to buy food. We have to do all the same things that you do.
dream cities towns
It makes you a better person to know where you came from, because whereever you go, there is somebody in some town, city, hamlet, whatever, that has the same dreams you have.
