My fame is largely due to young people, they're the first ones to discover me,

We have a tendency to put the bad stuff way in the back of our heads somewhere where we hope to forget it. But it's amazing how much you still retain.

It takes a long time to develop a movie but, knock on wood, I seem to have gotten closer than I've ever been to it finally coming to fruition.

Myself is what you see on stage, on film or for the camera in some way, in commercials, or you-name-it. That's where I'm the most comfortable.

I learned quite early that I wasn't out there to tell a joke. I was out there to be part of the joke. You're a piece of the joke and you act out the joke with someone else. The sketch and the vignette becomes the joke.

I thought the Emperor sounded more British. It really wasn't a stylized Chinese accent. What I went for was to sound more regal than Asian. And it seemed to work, because I got the job.

I've been working on my autobiography, just pecking away in longhand. The more you write, the more you remember. The more you remember, the more detail you recall. It's not all pleasant!

I still have a young attitude. Hey, I hit 72 this year.

A comic always worked with a singer. If the singer didn't work, guys like Tony Bennett and Vic Damone, the comics didn't work.

I hoped that I could learn more of the language of my ancestors, but the Japanese spotted that I'm American, so they insist on talking in my language to brush up on their English. I haven't learned a word of Japanese.

Shows like MASH and I Love Lucy also come to mind. There aren't but a couple handfuls of memorable shows that people still laugh at and still love.

Of course, Karate Kid put me on the map internationally, but it's awesome to try to comprehend the number of lives you touch. I'll be on an airplane and people from Brazil come by and tell me they love my work.

Only in America could you get away with the kind of comedy I did. If I tried it in Japan before the war, it would have been considered blasphemy, and I would have ended in leg irons.

It's been a career filled with very low valleys and some wonderful, high peaks.

When I was breaking into show business as a standup comic, I worked all the major hotels: the Tropicana, the Frontier, Caesar's, The Flamingo, the original Aladdin, on and on.

I seldom have to actually read. And when I do, the casting people, creative people pretty much know I'm the guy they want anyway.

San Francisco was a hotbed for young wannabe comedians. There was such a wide array of clubs. The more I saw, the more I began to drool.

I got a lifetime achievement award at the Lincoln Center. I was saluted by a whole new theatrical group in New York. I was brought on stage and introduced by Ralph Maccio.
