Life's but a day at most.

Dress simply. If you wear a dinner jacket, don't wear anything else on it ... like lunch or dinner.

Everything that goes up must come down. But there comes a time when not everything that's down can come up.

There's an old saying, 'Life begins at forty.' That's silly. Life begins every morning you wake up.

At home we ate fish every Friday, as Catholics were then supposed to do. Being Jewish, I compromised. I wore a hat when I ate fish, out of respect for my own religion and the fish's family.

How did I ever get sick? I've already had everything.

Age to me means nothing. I can't get old; I'm working. I was old when I was twenty-one and out of work. As long as you're working, you stay young. When I'm in front of an audience, all that love and vitality sweeps over me and I forget my age.
