It's better to be happy doing something you love, even if you don't find success right away.

Tennis is a young man's game. Until you're 25, you can play singles. From 25 to 35, you should play doubles. I won't tell you exactly how old I am, but when I played, there were 28 men on the court - just on my side of the net.

I must be getting absent-minded. Whenever I complain that things aren't what they used to be, I always forget to include myself.

You can't help getting older, but you don't have to get old.

I use the cigar for timing purposes. If I tell a joke, I smoke as long as they laugh and when they stop laughing I take the cigar out of my mouth and start my next joke.

Just because you're old that doesn't mean you're more forgetful. The same people whose names I can't remember now I couldn't remember fifty years ago. . .

I'm very pleased to be here. Let's face it, at my age I'm very pleased to be anywhere.
