I quit drinking. That was a big problem for a lot of years. Then after that, I just started feeling grateful again.
I think I've far exceeded what I ever thought I could possibly do. I'm almost shocked that I'm still around after all of these years . . . and always grateful that I get another turn to do something.
I was introducing [director and producer] Hal Roach - Mr. Roach was 100 years old, he was one of the fathers of early days in films, he put Laurel with Hardy, he created the Our Gang kids, and all these silent movies he did - he was a giant.

I would even walk so it wouldn't look like we're together. Here I can hold his hand.
The reason we are together is because she puts lead in my shoes and doesn't let me fly off the earth. And it's always been that way.
My dad, Jack, had a great sense of humour and had a strong impact on me and my humour.
