| # | Quote |
|---|---|
| 1 | [on Jackie Mason] I'm not a fan of him as a person, but he made me laugh. He's one of the only guys who did The Hollywood Squares (1965) that I told the producers NOT to ask back. He was disruptive. But he was very good. I followed him up to Harrah's Reno one year. I was there to see his act and he was wonderful, but not a very nice person. |
| 2 | [on action] God, save us from the hotheads who lead us to act foolishly, and from cold feet that would keep us from acting at all. |
