I'm not quite as much of a curmudgeon being old. I'm not cantankerous. But otherwise, I'm about the same.

I would love to be Moses.

When I auditioned for 'Bye Bye Birdie' on Broadway, Gower Champion said, 'You've got the job!' I said, 'Mr. Champion, I can't dance.' He said, 'We'll teach you what you need to know.'

We all know we're going to die. We're all circling the drain. Some of us are closer than others. I'm 90, I know I'm closer to the drain than most people.

I always loved to dance, but I never had a clue what I was doing.

Everybody knows that I'm shorter, but it doesn't bother me at all.

Once you get the kids raised and the mortgage paid off and accomplish what you wanted to do in life, there's a great feeling of: 'Hey, I'm free as a bird.'
