My grandchildren just know me now as Mr. Potato Head.

I was 28 when my father died, and I was an only child.

When I got out of high school, I wanted to be an actor but was getting a lot of rejections. I was getting rejected by life. My mother, God rest her soul, told me not to quit.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.

Jokes are very curious things psychologically.
