I was looking over at Jimmy Cagney and all the rest of them and thinking, "These guys are really good," and then my wife is pounding on me saying, "They called your name!" I couldn't believe it. I had nothing planned; I just walked up those steps. Q: But you did have a little something planned, right?

A: In the morning we had [rehearsal] and Jerry Lewis, who was master of ceremonies that year, made me a bet. He said, "I bet you a buck-98 you're going to win." Grace Kelly said the same thing. When I got home, I took a red sack of my little daughter's and I put 198 pennies in it, just in case.

I had it in my pocket, and as I walked up the steps I handed it to Jerry and I said, "Here, you won." Grace Kelly handed me the statue. A few years later, I met up with her and her husband in Monaco and she said, "Ernie, do you still have that little trinket I gave you?" Q: Have you thought about what you'll say when you receive the Life Achievement award?

… Like I forgot to send flowers to my wife on her birthday. The next morning, I sent beautiful orchids and I wrote, "Mea Culpa." We respect each other and we talk to each other. It looks like we're going to be going for the rest of our lives.
