Sheer flattery got me into the theater. Flattery always works with me, particularly the flattery of women.
In a capitalist society, persons who create capital, like Michael Eisner, are given the staggering rewards.
I enjoyed in every way my 12 years of playing Archie, and I wasn’t personally sad about finishing a long job.
Some people thought we were presenting Archie as a false character. President Nixon thought we were making a fool out of a good man.
One irreducible residual of 38 years in the business is the number of lasting, loving friendships I have made.
Vulgar and obscene, the papers run rumors daily about people in show business, tales of wicked ways and witless affairs.
I have heard show business characterized as a refuge for childlike persons in flight from all things harsh and real.
