I've Retired So Many Times Now It's

So As My Kids Will Tell You, They Had A Pretty Normal Life.

I've Never Been What You'd Call A Great Singer, But I Loved To Sing.

My Wife, As Proud As She Was Of Me, Hated Show Business For Good Reasons. There Was Something About The Spouse Always Being Pushed Out Of The Way, Shoved Aside. She Wanted To Get Away From It.

I Went From My Mother To My Wife. And To This Day, I Can't Bear To Be Alone.

I Have Also Heard And Read Various Accounts Of Why They [sheldon Leonard And Carl Reiner] Liked Me. My Favorites? I Wasn't Too Good-looking, I Walked A Little Funny, And I Was Basically Kind Of Average And Ordinary. I Guess My Lack Of Perfection Turned Out To Be A Winning Hand. Let That Be A Lesson For Future Generations.
