"I do know people and there are people in my family who have had Alzheimer's and dementia, and I appreciate the importance of communication and having contact with them. Communicating is an interesting thing with a condition like that. Sometimes it's difficult to communicate. If the brain becomes atrophied or certain channels of the brain become atrophied, then contact is what becomes really important."
"There's nothing more arrogant or conceited than youth, and there's nothing other than machinery that can replace youth."
"Quitters don't win and winners don't quit."
"I find it so easy to get distracted - I try not to do more than one thing at any one time."
"Groucho Marx, in his later days, gave me the best review I've ever had and probably will ever have. I changed a light bulb over his bed, and when I came off of his bed with the used one after putting the new one in, Groucho said, 'That's the best acting I've ever seen you do.'"
