I asked Fred Astaire once when he was about my age if he still danced, and he said 'Yes, but it hurts now.' That's exactly it. I can still dance too, but it hurts now!

I know friends of mine who have never changed their mind about anything in their lives, despite evidence from all directions. And I think if you can keep an open mind and some understanding, that helps you stay young.

I got into a Broadway show before I ever sang and danced. I learned how after I got in the show.

I did a 'Golden Girls' once, which shot in front of an audience, and that went well. I had a good time. But I need an audience, for comedy at least.

I have four children and I have seven grandkids.

My kids are so much better parent than I was.

I married somebody half my age, and everybody thought I was crazy, but she is just an absolute angel.
