Happiness: a way station between too little and too much.

The one happiness is to shut one's door upon a little room with a table before one and to create to create life in that isolation from life.

I'd learned how much happiness money can bring you. Very little.

I was as happy doing theater in New York for little or no money as I am now doing television for more money. The happiness I guess comes out of it being a good job. The success has to do with the fact that it's a good job that will continue.

Happiness consists not in having much but in being content with little.

One of my producers said this business is like a hamster on that little wheel thing that goes around and around. You may have a great day and get great ratings but then you've got another show to do - whatever moment of success or happiness you have you've got to keep grinding it out for the next day.

The music is the message the message is the music. So that's my little ministry that the Big Man upstairs gave to me - a little ministry called love and happiness.

For me however that beloved glowing little word happiness has become associated with everything I have felt since childhood upon hearing the sound of the word itself.

Even if happiness forgets you a little bit never completely forget about it.

When I was a little kid all I wanted to do was to escape what I thought was the country and get to a city. Probably film and television had influenced me so much I really thought the key to happiness was living a very artificial life in a penthouse in New York with martini glasses.
