It's all malarky; even the wonderful part is malarky.
We did a show called The Orphan Train, during the depression, when families didn't have enough money to support their children, they'd put them on the train and hope someone would pick them up who had enough money to support their children.
Now on the other hand, if someone is selling a product, opening a dance studio, or has some other aim to help themselves, then I tend to look askance at some of these strange stories from outer space.
Our profession is very much like going to a cocktail party, you check out the guest list.
Lucille was a darling lady. Probably the finest comedienne in the business.
In the Belgian air force a general supposedly saw a UFO, tracked it with his plane, photographed it with his wing cameras. And I believe it because I said to myself why would this person, not getting paid for this, do it unless it actually happened or he thought it happened.
The dog has behaved himself quite well all day, and the show is doing fantastically well in the ratings... I have no reason to be sad!
If you're a star you go through the front door carrying the roses, instead of through the back door carrying the garbage.
You have to love the doing of what you're doing and not wait for the phone to ring.
I play bad golf for good charities like the LA Police.
I think voiceover is an adjunct that actors have picked up that have given us some security.
I never put my arms around John Gotti, Al Capone or Lucky Luciano.
Get that finger out of your ear! You don't know where that finger's been!
Someone once accused me of being like Eliot Ness. I sad no sir, I'm not E.N., but I can promise you that I'm not Al Capone!
