I'm at the age now where just putting my cigar in its holder is a thrill.

Should I be the one to play God? We're both about the same age, but we grew up in different neighborhoods.

It's hard for me to get used to these changing times. I can remember when the air was clean and sex was dirty.

In what other business can a guy my age drink martinis, smoke cigars and sing? I think all people who retire ought to go into show business. I've been retired all my life.

Much later in life, though, Gracie made a major contribution to the opera world. She stayed out of it.

I would go out with women my age, but there are no women my age.

I would read Playboy more often, but my glasses keep steaming up.
