I would have rather been beat by a plumber than Kathy Griffin.

I'd rather do a really good small part than a really bad big part.

I'm beginning to understand myself. But it would have been great to be able to understand myself when I was 20 rather than when I was 82.

I've got a great cigar collection - it's actually not a collection, because that would imply I wasn't going to smoke every last one of 'em.

I've never been one to look up the ladder. I've always looked down the ladder. As long as there's one guy down there, I'm fine.

I would rather be right than President.
