Sitting around with people of that quality and that caliber, people being funny. Smart and funny.”

He can deliver a line five different ways, and each one has incredible impact and intonation and rhythm.”

And if you ever watch Jack Oakie in an old movie, it's very similar to Gleason. … I think we all steal from one another.”
