(On Art Carney) We got to know Art pretty well when Arnie Rosen and I were working at CBS. He was brilliant and we remembered him. We brought him in cold and pushed him down Gleason's throat.
(On Jackie Gleason) From the very first show he is a problem. We know he is a talent and a boon to our efforts but it is a question of inhuman endurance. As I once said to Arnie, 'We have a tiger by the tail--a fat, funny tiger.'
