I was the worst game show host that ever lived, and I knew it.

When I was a kid, I loved all the silent comedians - Buster Keaton, Laurel and Hardy, Chaplin. And I used to imitate them. I'd go to see a Buster Keaton movie and come home and try things out I'd seen. I learned to do pratfalls when I was very young.

I decided, when I started having kids, that I'd try not to do anything that I wouldn't be proud for them to see. I've kind of stuck with that, and I don't regret that at all, although I've lost money and passed up a lot of projects because of it. But I feel good about that.

My favorite unknown movie is 'The Comic.'

[My mother] once cooked a ham and later found it in my father's shirt drawer. I am not kidding.

I found out retirement means playing golf, or I don't know what the hell it means. But to me, retirement means doing what you have fun doing.

I never wanted to be an actor and to this day I don`t. I can`t get a handle on it. An actor wants to become someone else. I am a song-and-dance man and I enjoy being myself, which is all I can do.

I grew up in Danville, Illinois, right in the middle of the state.

I found doing that kind of comedy without an audience is just... for me, it's almost impossible. You need the audience to do their half of the work.

I've retired so many times now it's getting to be a habit.

I watch 'Al Jazeera.' They have news that you can't find anywhere else. They do great documentaries, too.

I did a 'Golden Girls' once, which shot in front of an audience, and that went well. I had a good time. But I need an audience, for comedy at least.

'Mary Poppins' was one of the best experiences of my life.

Only funny line I've had was my first day on the set of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. They were making me up, and I saw the director call the makeup man over, and he says What are we going to do about the hooter? And the makeup guy said, I'm not a plastic surgeon. So I started that show with a big nose, and quite conscious of it.

I think that's the answer to a good marriage. Everyone has their own room.

You know, I'm almost out of the habit of watching episodic television now.

Rob Petrie is who I really am - in personality and general ineffectiveness.
