I have been in the entertainment business some forty-three years, and I have never said anything detrimental or anything that might be construed as belittling any race or religion. I would be a sucker to do so because you can't insult the customers.

I exercise extreme self control. I never drink anything stronger than gin before breakfast.

I once spent a year in Philadelphia, I think it was on a Sunday.

I don't believe in dining on an empty stomach.

It has been shown that, in contrast to everything which classical national economy has hitherto taught, not the producer but the consumer is the ruling factor …

I never speak ill of dead people or live judges.

Never treat your audience as customers, always as partners.
