Tim Conway Quotes

[On Ernest Borgnine]: Yeah, I'm afraid - he's unbelievable. He lives not too far from us. And I also do a Sponge Bob with him and we do a couple of voice-overs on it. And he'll, you know, he comes running down the hall like a 12 year old, he grabs me, he gives me a hug, breaks a couple of ribs and I see him again in a couple of weeks. But he just is - it's wonderful, he's what 90 now and he just gets in his tractor - or a tractor - his trailer and drives around the country. He'll stop someplace for a week and just sit out in front of a store and talk to people. He loves people; he loves just, you know...being himself.

[On his favorite comic heroes of all time]: Gleason, Steve Allen, Tom Poston, Don Knotts. Don Knotts was a really big influence, especially on the Steve Allen show.

And that's why I put Don in several of my movies.
