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.
There's an old saying, 'Life begins at forty.' That's silly. Life begins every morning you wake up.
Too bad that all the people who know how to run the country are busy driving taxicabs and cutting hair.
I was brought up to respect my elders, so now I don't have to respect anybody.

I'd rather be a failure at something I enjoy than a success at something I hate
