Nice to be here? At my age it's nice to be anywhere.
At my age flowers scare me.
People ask me what I'd most appreciate getting for my eighty-seventh birthday. I tell them, a paternity suit.
You can't help getting older, but you don't have to get old.
If you live to be one hundred, you've got it made. Very few people die past that age.
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 was brought up to respect my elders, so now I don't have to respect anybody.

The most important thing in acting is honesty. If you can fake that, you've got it made.
I'd rather be a failure at something I love than a success at something I hate.
