- I'll never forget what Edward Everett Horton said to me: "Promise me, Larry, you will never grow old". I've tried my best to use that advice.
- Sometimes, I walk out on stage, and you can hear from the balcony, "Hey, Agarn!" It still tickles me after 40 years. They don't make them like F Troop (1965) anymore!
- The most money I ever made was on a McDonald's hamburger commercial.
- [about the running gag on F Troop (1965), in which Cpl. Agarn's cousins from various parts of the world kept showing up] If you tell a joke, if you can do it in dialect, you're way ahead of the game. I had cousins who came from Moscow, Mexico, Montreal.
- [on Nat Hiken, for whom he worked on Car 54, Where Are You? (1961)] Nat Hiken was one of the great writers of all time. I wish I had got to know him better. It was strictly a "Hello, how are you?" sort of thing. I think he ranked with Fred Allen and Larry Gelbart. He was right up there with the best of them.
