I do Broadway because I refuse to succumb to the stereotypical things that Hollywood does to a performer.

I don't think anybody is wanting to put me back on the air. But I'm certainly out there trying.

If you want good sketches, go pick up Sid Caesar. The best of Your Show of Shows. That's the greatest sketch comedy you'll ever see on television.

You know what's nice about Montreal? Not only is it a beautiful city, but you have Cuban cigars.

Canada has given us John Candy and Martin Short and Bill Shatner and Lord knows how many other wonderful performers.

When the show is over we still have to pay our rent, we have to buy food. We have to do all the same things that you do.

The third year of MASH was when I realized I was a hit.

Canadians send us great hockey players. You also send us wonderful performers, from the beginning, with Mary Pickford.

I do Broadway because I refuse to succumb to the stereotypical things that Hollywood does to a performer.

I certainly don't have any airs about myself.

I did sketch comedy for years. I've always enjoyed it.

All the plays I do are comedies. I love listening to people laugh. I couldn't do the dramas like 'All My Sons.'

As a kid, I had to be funny.

Before 'M*A*SH*,' people in the industry didn't know what to do with this guy with the big nose.

I can't imagine that I will ever be on anything like 'M*A*S*H' again.

I enjoy 'Murphy Brown,' but I am shocked that people really like 'Married... With Children.' These shows are toilet humor, and none of them have good characters.

I was the first man to put on a dress and play it straight. That was something very fresh. Still is.

I was thrilled as a kid to point out my sister as she danced and sang on the stage, and she was pretty good artistically. She was a great inspiration to me. She was the one who sort of led me into show business.

I would like to do a nice comedy/drama feature with a good part, but nobody's asked me to do a film. Maybe it's because they don't know what to do with a guy in a dress.

I'm after the bucks because bucks give you the power, power gives you the freedom, and freedom lets you send money home to your mother.

It took me years to get out of the bargain basement. I always wanted to walk into a men's store and buy a cashmere sweater.

It's a difficult thing to overcome, but I've been quite fortunate. I haven't been out of work, literally, since 'M*A*S*H' went out of production.

Never stay with friends or relatives. You end up living on their schedules.

Some people came up with story lines where Colonel Potter moves in with Klinger, and we become a 1950s' odd couple. I said, 'Come on, let's do something significant.'

The benefits from stardom as Klinger outweigh any setbacks. It's a double-edged sword. What makes you famous is what interferes with getting other roles.

The dresses I wore are in the Smithsonian now.

You can't explain why people are friends and why those friendships last, but there certainly is magic in it. It's just something that you treasure.

It makes you a better person to know where you came from because whereever you go there is somebody in some town city hamlet whatever that has the same dreams you have.

We all respect sincerity in our friends and acquaintances, but Hollywood is willing to pay for it.

I was lucky enough to occasionally break out of that racist situation that prevails in the Hollywood film production community. But it was racist then and it will always be that way. It will never be otherwise.

Awards were made in Hollywood, in whatever the time it was created. They're to promote each other's movies. You give me an award, I give you an award and people will believe that we are great movies and they'll go to see them. It's still the same.

I've always thought John Travolta is one of the greatest movie stars Hollywood has ever produced.

It could be my downfall, but I don't think it is - Hollywood is run on perception, and if you stray off the path of what you want to do with your career, it's suicide.

The best thing I can think of would be to create a union between something as beautiful and powerful and wonderful as Hollywood films and a criticism of the status quo. That's my dream, to make such a German film.

Growing up in Hollywood it seemed like every kid was the child of some star. We had no idea that other people would think we were special, because there was no other lifestyle to compare it to.

I remember having to take detours around the Hollywood sign to avoid having to see this grotesque poster of myself on Sunset Boulevard.

Hollywood is kind of a bad world.

It's so crazy in Hollywood.

I don't think I ever understood Hollywood.

I came across awful characters when I got some kind of status and came to Hollywood. Then you have directors trying to sleep with you, assuming that you will do things because of the way you dress.

Hollywood is sexist and age-ist, and that covers all the bases, I guess.

A few nights ago I went to a Hollywood screening of a small independent film made by Sally Kirkland, an old friend of mine who also did terrific job acting in it. There were other actors in it and they were all terrific.

Hollywood today is all about being consistent. All thinking in mainstream film business takes place in one box.

Everyone is treating it like a Hollywood story. In Madison, it's a neighborhood story.

Hollywood is what you make it; you have to choose company with care because you become what they are.

Hollywood is a world all its own.

Silence is the sure sign that you're on your way out in Hollywood.

What is the thing that Hollywood demands most? Sincerity. No place in the world will pay such a high price for this admirable trait.

If you can believe it, Hollywood wanted to change my birthdate. I was born after Valentine's Day, so they wanted to change it to February 14. A Latin lover should be born on Valentine's Day. I said no.
