- I could never just be an actor, that would be like having the rest of the day to die in . . . I'm in other businesses, most of them failures. Failures don't scare me. You make it or you don't.
- I am the theater's number-one takeover guy for everybody. It's a great compliment to be asked to replace such a variety of performers.
- I've made a good living and I've had a good time doing it. Has it been tough? You bet! I went broke three times, but I'm proud of the way I've recovered. You never hear any scandals about me. I'm well respected. I've got a happy family, a nice home, and I'm working in my business. What more could I ask?
- I'm not a comedian; I'm an actor who does comedy.
- [about Frank Moran] Frank was a very intelligent man. When he was a fighter he was hit in the larynx area, and that's why he talked the way he did. He had the voice of a pretty stupid guy, and so people would come away from him thinking, "My God, where did he get all his intelligence?" . . . and on the set he was just so wonderful--we'd sit around and have so much fun.
