I wouldn't be caught dead marrying a woman old enough to be my wife.

But my longevity is due to my good timing.

My life is very full; my wife makes it so. I'm 82 years old and I'm having the best time I've ever had in my life. I want to share that with all of you. Find a way to do that, find a way to be at peace with yourself, to enjoy the little things in life. Make them your own.

I want the public to know that it will be an honor for me to meet them and spend a few special moments with all those who helped me through my filmed career.

Hollywood ... the most sensational merry-go-around ever built.

I can't sit around and wait for the telephone to ring.

My parents were Hungarian immigrants; my father was a tailor and we lived in the back of a tailor store. And that was my first inkling of what it was like to be raised in America. It had a profound effect on me - I saw different people coming in all the time with different attitudes and I liked it. And as I grew older, I found that I was able to use something inside of me to get some sympathy if I wanted it. I used to shine shoes, and I would use a waif-like look. I'd get a dime and I'd be as happy as could be.
