On appreciating Richard Nixon's impression: It took me a long time to get Nixon--but it took the country a long time to get Nixon. Nixon has these brooding eyes that look like my eyes. That helped a lot. But the voice is still the main thing. He has a radio announcer's evenness of speech, very well modulated, and you can't pick any highs and lows. If I hadn't had to do him. I wouldn't have tried.
