On the early years:
"I wouldn't have had anything to eat if it wasn't for the stuff the
audience threw at me."

number."

millions who can't resist giving a word or phrase a twist... and
ammunition for many occasions from movie, TV and theatre wags; from
the wits of Wall Street and Washington... the gems from poets and
pundits and some of the bottom-of-the-barrel crumbs!
