The Horny Toad in Cave Creek has great food. When I'm in Arizona, I have at least one meal there. I have a daughter who lives out there, and Dee Dee Wood, who was the choreographer on 'Mary Poppins,' lives out there. I still get out there once in a while, but not in the summer.
When you're a kid, you lay in the grass and watch the clouds going over, and you literally don't have a thought in your mind. It's purely meditation, and we lose that.
Women will never be as successful as men because they have no wives to advise them.
Just knowing you don't have the answers is a recipe for humility, openness, acceptance, forgiveness, and an eagerness to learn - and those are all good things.
In my seventies, I exercised to stay ambulatory. In my eighties, I exercise to avoid assisted living.
I never wanted to be an actor, and to this day I don't. I can't get a handle on it. An actor wants to become someone else. I am a song-and-dance man, and I enjoy being myself, which is all I can do.
Somebody asked what I wanted on my gravestone. I'm just going to put: 'Glad I Could Help.'
The secret to keeping moving is keeping moving.
I asked Fred Astaire once when he was about my age if he still danced, and he said 'Yes, but it hurts now.' That's exactly it. I can still dance, too, but it hurts now!
I have four kids, seven grandkids, and four great-grandkids. Maybe I can become a great-great-grandfather if I hang on!
But once we got on the air, everybody except Morey Amsterdam pretty much stuck to the script.
Don't worry so much. Most of the things you worry about never end up happening.
I have a beautiful, young wife who sings and dances, so there's a lot of duetting going on at my house.
I was 5 years old when the stock market crashed; I lost everything.
I played a killer twice. Once on 'Matlock,' on Andy Griffith's show, I got to play the killer.
So I think we're kind of an alternate choice for people who have had it with sex and violence.
There's a lot of very funny people I'd love to work with that I've never met, of course. I love Steve Martin and Jim Carrey.
I'm always announcing my retirement. I'm still not retired.
I did a 'Golden Girls' once, which shot in front of an audience, and that went well. I had a good time. But I need an audience, for comedy at least.
I didn't even start dancing until I was in my thirties, and it was like flying.
