(about his 'Honeymooners' character Ed Norton)
Art Carney: As dumb-acting as Norton was, I thought he was pretty crafty. I think everything he had in his apartment was probably bought on time, but he had it.
(edit) Art Carney: I have seasonal answers. In the summer: 'I like it down there because it's cool.' In the winter: 'I like it down there because it's warm.' Then I've got one that isn't seasonal: 'Go to hell.' (edit) Art Carney: I don't tell jokes, and if I tried, I couldn't hold an audience's attention for five minutes.
(edit) Art Carney: I love Ed Norton and what he did for my career. But the truth is that we couldn't have been more different. Norton was the total extrovert, there was no way you could put down his infectious good humor. Me? I'm a loner and a worrier. (edit)
