Florida Is A Very Healing Place.

It Was A Bit Of A Lark When I Agreed To Do [smokey And The Bandit], And I Knew We'd Have Fun If We Could Get Jackie Gleason.

Our Family Really Didn't Have A Car; We Had My Dad's Police Cruiser. Later He Got A Buick, And That's What I Was Driving When I Had A Wreck. I'm Lucky It Was As Big And Strong As It Was, Because That Buick Is What Saved My Life.

I Had Known Hal [needham] For A While By The Time He Moved In, So I Was Sure We'd Get Along Well, And We Did. He'd Go Off And Do His Gigs And I Would Do Mine, And When We Were Lucky We Got To Work On The Same Ones.

If You've As Many Films As I Have, And Missed As Many Opportunities As I Have To Do Good Work And Been Pissed Off About It, You Say, "well, Now You've Got To Start Getting It Right."

And That Happens To A Lot Of Actors. But I'm Feeling Very Wanted These Days, So There Must Be Something In The Air.
