sex thinking laughing
So many young people think the big sex act is the whole movie, but that's not the case. You need to be able to talk and laugh and cry together.
success thinking think-positive
Whatever you do to gain success, you have to hang in there and hope good things happen. Always think positive.
crazy thinking years
Once in a while, when I'm alone, I think about my age. I think, How many more years do I have on this earth? But I can't really conceive of dying. Somehow, in my head, I don't think I'll die. I know that everybody dies, of course. I just think that it'll never come to me. It's crazy, but there it is.
mean thinking people
People think being in your seventies means sitting around in a chair with a blanket over your legs, drooling.
night thinking people
I'd like to think my performance is today. I never try to - it's so, as you know, watching me, I have a beginning, middle and ending. But every night the show changes and I relate to an audience and I relate to the young people.
kings thinking phones
Famous people are deceptive. Deep down, they're just regular people. Like Larry King. We've been friends for forty years. He's one of the few guys I know who's really famous. One minute he's talking to the president on his cell phone, and then the next minute he's saying to me, Do you think we ought to give the waiter another dollar?
thinking doctors rooms
I think if I took therapy, the doctor would quit. He'd just pick up the couch and walk out of the room.
club great room
Room service is great if you want to pay $500 for a club sandwich.
blew button sell
I couldn't sell air conditioners on a 98-degree day. When I demonstrated them in a showroom, I pushed the wrong button and blew the circuit.
best gave guy insult johnny milton title
An insult is mean or unkind. Milton Berle called me the Sultan of Insult, and I was called the King of Insult. But the guy that gave me the best title - and I use it to this day - was Johnny Carson. He called me Mr. Warmth.
hour
I ride a recumbent bike for half an hour every day.
among boy god humor love thank
Among my friends, I'm not a little Boy Scout, and they love my humor, thank God.
barbara bones great happen liked mood seen sinatra walked wonderful
Sinatra had a lot of mood swings, but he was wonderful to my wife Barbara and to me. He made no bones about who he liked and who he loved, and he had this great charisma. When he walked into a room, it stopped. I've only seen that happen with Ronald Reagan.
bad call everybody loves morning stopped
I stopped smoking. But my personality I still have. I get up in the morning, and not everybody loves me, so if you want to call that a bad habit, there's that.
