Love is a lot like a backache. It doesn't show up on x-rays, but you know it's there.
I must be getting absent-minded. Whenever I complain that things aren't what they used to be, I always forget to include myself.
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.
Lots of people have asked me what Gracie and I did to make our marriage work. It's simple - we don't do anything. I think the trouble with a lot of people is that they work too hard at staying married. They make a business out of it. When you work too hard at a business you get tired; and when you get tired you get grouchy; and when you get grouchy you start fighting; and when you start fighting you're out of business.
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 look better, feel better, make love better and I'll tell you something else....I never lied better.
I don't have a drinking problem. I drink. I get drunk. I fall down, no problem.
It takes only one drink to get me drunk. The trouble is, I can't remember if it's the thirteenth or the fourteenth.
I look to the future because that's where I'm going to spend the rest of my life.
Retirement at sixty-five is ridiculous. When I was sixty-five I still had pimples.
Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city.
First you forget names, then you forget faces. Next you forget to pull your zipper up and finally, you forget to pull it down.
When you stop giving and offering something to the rest of the world, it's time to turn out the lights.
