bother passes tony
When I die, it's going to read, 'Game Show Fixture Passes Away.' Nothing about the theater, or Tony Awards, or Emmys. But it doesn't bother me.
agent gave places stay time travel trip work
Capricorns like to stay in one place. I have to go to work in places like New York, but basically, I don't want to go anywhere. One time, I got a trip around the world for doing something on television, and the travel agent was so excited, I gave her the tickets.
You can't do anything else once you do game shows. You have no career.
third
I live at the dentist's. I'm on my third set of teeth that they put in with nails and screws.
people
Because I was an only child, I don't like many people around, and that's why I don't have any servants.
full
Opera is full of trappings that make us go away from being human. You can't let them do that. You can't walk like you're in an opera! You have to make it real. You have to just be there.
asthma davis eighth floor injured last rooms
If you ever get injured or have an asthma attack, the last words you get out are, 'Sammy Davis suite, please.' That's, like, three rooms on the eighth floor of Cedars-Sinai.
head life people tells twilight
A voice in my head tells me that I'm at the twilight of an extraordinary life. I say extraordinary because of the people who have loved me. I say twilight because of what people say to me in the supermarket.
entering furniture life meeting room time
If you're entering a room for the first time, do it the way you would in life - look around; see how they have the furniture arranged. If your character is meeting another character for the first time, meet them the way you would in life.
elizabeth sends taylor
My friends are very rich. Elizabeth Taylor sends flowers the size of the bathtub. I'm not kidding.
dressed last life whip worth
Everyone should have hair. When you get dressed up, you must do that last whip of hair spray, or life's not worth living.
ball message
It's fun to get a message on the phone service that Lucille Ball or Burt Reynolds called, and play it very blase by asking, 'Anyone else?'
suddenly wake
I was 24 yesterday. Suddenly you wake up, and you get on the elevator, and there's a mirror there. And you look in the mirror, and you're an old man.
funny
The thing that's funny is that everyone thinks I'm dead.
