I'm a legend because I've survived over a long period of time and still seem to be master of my fate - I'm still paddling the goddamned boat myself.

I find a woman's point of view much grander and finer than a man's.

Once a crowd chased me for an autograph. "Beat it", I said, "go sit on a tack!" "We made you", they said. "Like hell you did", I told them.

It's a bore - B-O-R-E - when you find you've begun to rot.

If you have to support yourself, you had bloody well better find some way that is going to be interesting.

With all the opportunities I had, I could have done more. And if I'd done more, I could have been quite remarkable.

I don't fear death, it must be like a long sleep.
