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

I find you have to take each day as it comes and be thankful for who's left and whatever you can still do.

I smoke cigars because at my age if I don't have something to hang on to I might fall down.

People are always asking me how much I'm worth. Well, all I can say is, I've got enough money to last me the rest of my life. As long as I die in the next 20 minutes.

I'm onstage for an hour.I do an hour of stand-up. Actually, I do 10 minutes standing up and 50 minutes sitting in a chair. Oh, occasionally, I stand up again to do a dance or put over a song. But mostly I sit down. A great invention, sitting down.

I look better, feel better, make love better and I'll tell you something else....I never lied better.

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.
