The dining room in my old house was truly magnificent, but by far the worst room for conversation. I’d get up from the table, a very long table, and somebody would always say, Paul, I never got to talk to you. – Paul Lynde
Learning lines is on my mind until I do know them. I’ll read the paper or paint the house to keep from starting to memorize. I’ve never found an easy way. – Paul Lynde
My table seats eight, so that’s my maximum. Having a small number of guests is the only way to generate good conversation. Besides, your whole house doesn’t get wrecked that way. – Paul Lynde
I don’t always prepare such rich meals. Sometimes I’ll just serve a simple quiche, salad and dessert for dinner. During the week I try to eat lightly. – Paul Lynde

I have this beautiful antique silver wine decanter that I bought at an auction. I always pour wine from that. – Paul Lynde
When I said I didn’t have a cent, I didn’t. I used to get annoyed with people who said they were broke when they had five dollars. – Paul Lynde
The doctor’s name was Sylvia. I told her she’d have a problem with me because Sylvia was my mother’s name. – Paul Lynde
Comedy is exaggerated realism. It can be stretched to the almost ludicrous, but it must always be believable. – Paul Lynde
I feel now it’s useless to keep hoping. The way things are today, we live in a world that needs laughter, and I’ve decided if I can make people laugh, I’m making a more important contribution. – Paul Lynde
