I am reminded of a piece of advice my father gave me regarding shoes. ...He said it is better to buy one good pair of shoes than four cheap ones. One pair made of fine leather could outlast four inferior pairs and, if well-cared-for, would continue to proclaim your good judgment and taste no matter how old they become.

We should all just smell well and enjoy ourselves more.

My father used to say, 'Let them see you and not the suit. That should be secondary.'

To write an autobiography, you've got to expose other people. I hope to get out of this world as gracefully as possible, without embarrassing anyone.

I can't bear to hear a woman talk baby talk.

I began by acting like the person I wanted to be, and eventually I became that person.

Dying's tough - but not as tough as comedy.
