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

Sex has been around for a long time. You may not believe this, but it was around before I was.

When I die I intend to take my music with me. I don't know what's out there, but I want to make sure it's in my key.

Fall in love with what you're going to do for a living. To be able to get out of bed and do what you love to do for the rest of the day is beyond words. I'd rather be a failure in something I love than be successful in something I hate.

I like women to be attracted to me. See, when you get 60 years old, and they know you're 60, the only women you can get are 55-year-old women, and I like younger women.

A young mind in a healthy body is a wonderful thing. Especially for an old man with an open night.

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.
