I Decided, When I Started Having Kids,

Somebody Asked What I Wanted On My Gravestone. I'm Just Going To Put: 'glad I Could Help.'

When I Get Some Budding Young Comic Who'll Come Up To Me And Say, 'what Was It Like To Do It In Those Days?' I Try To Be As Gracious To Him As Stan Laurel Was To Me.

I Know Friends Of Mine Who Have Never Changed Their Mind About Anything In Their Lives, Despite Evidence From All Directions. And I Think If You Can Keep An Open Mind And Some Understanding, That Helps You Stay Young.

We Should Never Judge A Day By Its Weather.

I Went Public With The Alcoholism, Very Early On... The Early '70s. Mercedes Mccambridge, The Actress, I Think Was The First Recognizable Person That Went Before Congress And Talked About It, And I Thought That Was A Good Idea, To Take Some Of The Stigma Away From It And Say "normal, Average People Can Fall Prey To It." So It's Been Public For Me. I Did A Movie About An Alcoholic. And Today, You're Nobody Unless You've Been To Rehab. It Seems Like Everybody Has Some Kind Of An Addiction.
