How do I make an in-game menu work?

I have a simple, in-game pause menu that just says, Paused, and has a quit button. It works fine except when I go to actually open the menu with the esc button, it just flashes open the closes really quick. I have to press and hold it for it to open without closing on its own. This is my code, can anyone help me get to open with just one button press?

function Update () {

if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Escape)){
if(Time.timeScale == 0){
Time.timeScale = 1;
}
else {
Time.timeScale = 0;
}
}

}

function OnGUI(){
if(Time.timeScale == 0){

     ButtonGUI();                                      
}

}

function ButtonGUI() {
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------//
GUI.Label (Rect (100, 25, 200, 60), “PAUSED”);

if (GUI.Button (Rect (100, 55, 100, 30), "Quit")) {
	Application.Quit();
}

//-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------//
}

Try using

... Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Escape)....

That way it only runs once every time you press the escape key.
