Death doesn't frighten me; now I can think peacefully of ending a long life.

I'm not afraid of anything.

Always keep a smile. I attribute my long life to that. I believe I will die laughing. That's part of my program.

I had to wait 110 years to become famous. I wanted to enjoy it as long as possible.

I wait for death and journalists.

Wit doesn't make girls pretty.

[On being the oldest living human being:] God must have forgotten me.
