I went from my mother to my wife. And to this day, I can't bear to be alone.

I have two kids who were like me, we get out of bed feeling good, and the other two would sit at the breakfast table and grumble. I think it's born into us. I usually wake up feeling pretty good. Looking forward to the day.

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'm gonna keep singing and dancing as long as I can.

Somebody asked what I wanted on my gravestone. I'm just going to put: 'Glad I Could Help.'

When I was a kid, I loved all the silent comedians - Buster Keaton, Laurel and Hardy, Chaplin. And I used to imitate them. I'd go to see a Buster Keaton movie and come home and try things out I'd seen. I learned to do pratfalls when I was very young.

You're going to die. That's going to happen. What matters is what you do with your time before you get flushed out.
