I'm at the age now where just putting my cigar in its holder is a thrill.

At my age flowers scare me.

I don't believe in dying. It's been done. I'm working on a new exit. Besides, I can't die now - I'm booked.

You can't help getting older, but you don't have to get old.

First you forget names, then you forget faces. Next you forget to pull your zipper up and finally, you forget to pull it down.

I smoke ten to fifteen cigars a day. At my age I have to hold on to something.

If you ask what is the single most important key to longevity, I would have to say it is avoiding worry, stress and tension. And if you didn't ask me, I'd still have to say it.

Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city.

Be quick to learn and wise to know.

I'm very pleased to be here. Let's face it, at my age I'm very pleased to be anywhere.

I look to the future because that's where I'm going to spend the rest of my life.

I honestly think it is better to be a failure at something you love than to be a success at something you hate.

Age to me means nothing. I can't get old; I'm working. I was old when I was twenty-one and out of work. As long as you're working, you stay young. When I'm in front of an audience, all that love and vitality sweeps over me and I forget my age.

Happiness? A good cigar, a good meal, a good cigar and a good woman - or a bad woman; it depends on how much happiness you can handle.

How beautifully leaves grow old. How full of light and color are their last days.

Sex at age 90 is like trying to shoot pool with a rope.

Everything that goes up must come down. But there comes a time when not everything that's down can come up.

You know you're getting old when you stoop to tie your shoelaces and wonder what else you could do while you're down there.

Acting is all about honesty. If you can fake that, you've got it made.

Don't stay in bed, unless you can make money in bed.

I spent a year in that town, one Sunday.
