From Paris we took the Orient Express to Vienna. I must say I was terribly disappointed; nobody was murdered on the train.

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.

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.

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

I don't have a drinking problem. I drink. I get drunk. I fall down, no problem.

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

I was brought up to respect my elders, so now I don't have to respect anybody.
