  1. "I still play that guitar. It's a Martin D-18 with a clear pick guard. I've played that guitar on and off my TV shows for nearly 50 years."
  2. "Andy was the world's greatest audience for Don. Don had Andy literally in tears once a week. [I learned] about the spirit of collaboration, which I've carried with me forever."
  3. "I felt like a loser. I was unhappy as a child most of the time. We were terribly poor and I hated my size."
  4. "My idol was Jack Benny and he was the master of subtlety and timing."
  5. "Confidence is preparation in action."
  6. "I'm not really wise. But I can be cranky."
  7. "I never knifed anybody in the back. It was just not my nature at all and that is why I was so surprised that I made it in show business at all."
  8. "At first I was supposed to be the funny central figure …but with that format the show might have lasted four weeks."
  9. "I don't think actors get good training today. I put my training to use in everything I do."
  10. "There's a very real argument that the minute we are capable of going to a planet, whether it's Mars or another one, and inhabiting it, that we really should."
  11. "I've never considered myself an actor; I get much more immediate satisfaction singing. If you sing good, people clap. On television, you never know whether you've done well or not."
  12. "It's very, very difficult for an actress or an actor to create a role and be so identified that you as a person no longer exist and all the recognition you get is for a part that's created on the screen."

I couldn't guess what quotes I said, so I tried to go inside the characters listed, well 7/12, didn't work all that well.
