[1958] Three years ago I was living in a cheap hotel room in New York with a two-burner hot plate. I'd buy a dozen franks, carrots, potatoes, anything I could boil. For entertainment, you'd get on the subway and go catch a 49 cent movie.

My role in the team is to be the well-intentioned but not always correct authority.

[on the end of Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In] We just ran dry. If you consider the amount of material that had to be consumed and heard, it was monumental. Dick and I would open every show with a monologue, and we'd have what they call the middle monologue, and then we'd have a monologue at the end. You're talking about more than 300 monologues. It's difficult enough to find something to talk about - much less to be funny about - 300 hundred different times.

I'm not altogether convinced that this is a profession for grown men. What I'd like is to get on a 55-foot steel hull craft, an old North Sea trawler, bundle up my bride and take off for the Greek islands for a year. I'd fish, sail and write pearly words on my Big Chief pad and for this somebody would send me bags of money.

Humor is essential. If you can't laugh at yourself you might wind up killing yourself.
