I Wanted To Be A Radio Announcer.

I Wasn't A Falling-in-the-gutter Type. I Drank At Home Because It Relaxed Me. I Was Shy Around New People, But After A Drink Or Two, I Became More Sociable.

I Wanted To Be Stan Laurel, Then I Wanted To Be Fred Astaire And Then Captain Kangaroo. I Actually Started Out As A Radio Announcer When I Was 17 And Never Left The Business So That's Literally 70 Years.

I Decided, When I Started Having Kids, That I'd Try Not To Do Anything That I Wouldn't Be Proud For Them To See. I've Kind Of Stuck With That, And I Don't Regret That At All, Although I've Lost Money And Passed Up A Lot Of Projects Because Of It. But I Feel Good About That.

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

I'm Not A Loner. I Have To Have A Life Partner.
