I don't ordinarily do television because I don't like some of the things projected on it.

Billy Crystal, Steve Martin do wonderful things.

Postwar America was a very buttoned-up nation. Radio shows were run by censors, Presidents wore hats, ladies wore girdles. We came straight out of the blue - nobody was expecting anything like Martin and Lewis. A sexy guy and a monkey is how some people saw us.

You want to know why Barbra Streisand is so difficult? Because she's brilliant. She's a brilliant entertainer, she's a brilliant lady, and she's a wonderful human being, and the community doesn't like it.

You can't be faulted for being selfish if you're going to get better because of it.

I'm still going to do television. I'm just not going to do morning television. I would like to do some things that satisfy interests, private interests.
