“I was so naive as a kid I used to sneak behind the barn and do nothing.” — Johnny Carson

The mind starts to do things that you didn't even realize it could do. I suppose it's the manipulation. I suppose it's the sense of power, the center of attention, and the me-ism. And performers have to have that.

There comes a time or a moment when you know in which direction you're going to go. I know it happened to me when I was quite young.

I know you've been married to the same woman for 69 years. That is marvelous. It must be very inexpensive.

My success just evolved from working hard at the business at hand each day.
