I would read Playboy more often, but my glasses keep steaming up.
I spent a year in that town, one Sunday.
When I was a boy the Dead Sea was only sick.
I must be getting absent-minded. Whenever I complain that things aren't what they used to be, I always forget to include myself.
Retirement at sixty-five is ridiculous. When I was sixty-five I still had pimples.
Too bad all the people who know how to run the country are busy driving taxi cabs and cutting hair
We were what you call a disappointment act, ... If an act got sick, we'd take their place.
Look to the future, because that is where you'll spend the rest of your life.
You've got to be honest; if you can fake that, you've got it made.
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.
I think I look about 40 to 45, so I like it.
Our record doesn't show it, but we are getting better.
People are always asking me when Im going to retire. Why should I? Ive got it two ways - Im still making movies, and Im a senior citizen, so I can see myself at half price.
