I'm glad I was born when I was. My time was the golden age of variety. If I were starting out again now, maybe things would happen for me, but it certainly would not be on a variety show with 28 musicians, 12 dancers, two major guest stars, 50 costumes a week by Bob Mackie. The networks just wouldn't spend the money today.

Writing is the only profession where no one considers you ridiculous if you earn no money.

Money doesn't buy class.

I'm not broke. Like everybody else, I owe money.

I find it fascinating that a lot of business books that do well are from people who've never made any money in business.
