I grew up in Danville, Illinois, right in the middle of the state.

I'm always announcing my retirement. I'm still not retired.

I've got plenty of arthritis. But if you keep moving, it won't bother you that much. That's why old guys stiffen up. They forget they have to get out of their chairs and do something. You let the moss grow over, it's your own fault.

I wasn't a falling-in-the-gutter type. I drank at home because it relaxed me. I was shy around new people, but after a drink or two, I became more sociable.

I think it's being thrown at the wolves, we call it in our business.

I have four kids, seven grandkids, and four great-grandkids. Maybe I can become a great-great-grandfather if I hang on!

Anyone who doesn't sing and dance at every opportunity is missing out on the joy of life.
