Emotionally I'm About 13.

I Went Public With The Alcoholism, Very Early On... The Early '70s. Mercedes Mccambridge, The Actress, I Think Was The First Recognizable Person That Went Before Congress And Talked About It, And I Thought That Was A Good Idea, To Take Some Of The Stigma Away From It And Say "normal, Average People Can Fall Prey To It." So It's Been Public For Me. I Did A Movie About An Alcoholic. And Today, You're Nobody Unless You've Been To Rehab. It Seems Like Everybody Has Some Kind Of An Addiction.

I've Got Plenty Of Arthritis. But If You Keep Moving, It Won't Bother You That Much. That's Why Old Guys Stiffen Up. They Forget They Have To Get Out Of Their Chairs And Do Something. You Let The Moss Grow Over, It's Your Own Fault.

Some People Never Change Their Mind Through Their Whole Lives, About Anything, Despite New Information That Comes In. And Now That We Know That Homosexuality Is Not A Choice, It's Biological, I Think We Have To Love And Understand Them.

I Think, The 'van Dyke Show' And 'mary Poppins' Are Two Of The Best Periods Of My Life. I Had So Much Fun, I Didn't Want It To End.

My Wife, As Proud As She Was Of Me, Hated Show Business For Good Reasons. There Was Something About The Spouse Always Being Pushed Out Of The Way, Shoved Aside. She Wanted To Get Away From It.
