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.

At home we ate fish every Friday, as Catholics were then supposed to do. Being Jewish, I compromised. I wore a hat when I ate fish, out of respect for my own religion and the fish's family.

I was always taught to respect my elders and I've now reached the age when I don't have anybody to respect.

Love is a lot like a backache. It doesn't show up on x-rays, but you know it's there.

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.

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