You can't take yourself too seriously.

Eating is one of the great beauties in life. One of my favorite recreations... eating with friends, the service, the ambience.

I played an artist in a comedy called 'Rooster.' It was a zany film by Glen Larson, a friend who produced several successful television series including 'Magnum PI.

I always stayed in tune with my own ambitions and attitudes and I'm still my intractable old self, for better or worse.

I had a go at changing history - maybe not all by myself - I fought at the battle of Normandy, I slogged through the Ardennes, and I celebrated the liberation of Paris on the streets with beautiful French girls throwing flowers at me. I said good-bye to my first true love and discovered what I really wanted to do with my life.

Throughout my life, cigars have played different roles for me. They fit easily and well in the various stages and experiences Ive had -- like a companion, almost. If youve smoked a long time, as I have, they become part of you.

I can easily ignore my detractors and feel the people who respond favorably.
