'Mary Poppins' was one of the best experiences of my life.
The first time I met Mary Tyler Moore, I thought she was just beautiful, but I thought she was a little young.
I don't have any children; I have four middle-aged people.
But I wish they would make a musical of some kind. I miss musicals so much. You don't see them anymore.
I think the saddest moment in my life just happened two months ago. My old nightclub partner passed away, Phil Erickson down in Atlanta. He - I owe him everything. He put me in the business and taught me about everything I know.
I worked nightclubs all through my 20s, and I was a teetotaler.
So as my kids will tell you, they had a pretty normal life.
I've always been a bit of an orphan, because actors say, 'Well, he's more of a dancer.' And dancers say, 'No. He's really a singer.' And singers say, 'No. He's an actor.'
Pandering to the scandal hungry public is a total lack of responsible journalism.
Unfortunately, the spouses of performers have a terrible, terrible life. They get shunted aside, pushed aside, ignored.
Oh, I had an idea for a pilot of my own at the time, and then Carl sent me about eight scripts and simply I threw my idea out the window because the writing was just so good.
So at 16 I got a job at the local radio station. And I was working after school and weekends. I did the news; I did everything. I did - played records.
I've been talking about retiring for years. It's my standard answer to the question, 'What are your future plans?' The truth is, I'll always want to do things that are worthwhile or fun.
I do miss the rhythms of comedy. And I've never been able to perform very well without an audience. The sitcoms I've done had them. It was like doing a little play.
I like 'The Office.' I particularly like the British version with Ricky Gervais. Of course, I liked the 'Seinfeld' show a lot. I thought that was an awfully good show.
It's more in my nature to be optimistic, I think. I'm one of those people who gets up on the right side of the bed in the morning.
As wonderful as they were, my parents didn't teach me anything about self-discipline, concentration, patience, or focus. If I hadn't had a family myself, I probably never would've done anything. Marriage taught me responsibility.
The years have been just full of surprises for me, and a lot of fun.
I didn't even start dancing until I was in my thirties, and it was like flying.
There are no more Walt Disneys anymore.
