I like women to be attracted to me. See, when you get 60 years old, and they know you're 60, the only women you can get are 55-year-old women, and I like younger women.
Sex can be fun after eighty, after ninety, and after lunch!
She didn't need to go to acting school to learn that the essence of acting is to act like you're not acting.
I worried about playing God (in the movie Oh God). We're about the same age, but we grew up in different neighborhoods.
My best advice: Fall in love with what you do for a living.
It's better to be happy doing something you love, even if you don't find success right away.
Tennis is a young man's game. Until you're 25, you can play singles. From 25 to 35, you should play doubles. I won't tell you exactly how old I am, but when I played, there were 28 men on the court - just on my side of the net.
There will always be a battle between the sexes because men and women want different things. Men want women and women want men.
There are two kinds of cruises - pleasure and with children.
I don't worry about getting old. I'm old already. Only young people worry about getting old. When I was 65, I had Cupid's eczema. I don't believe in dying. It's been done. I'm working on a new exit. Besides, I can't die now - I'm booked.
As long as you're working, you stay young.
How can I die? I'm booked.
If I get big laughs, I'm a comedian. If I get little laughs, I'm a humorist. If I get no laughs, I'm a singer.
When I wasn't working, I put the blame directly where it belonged - I blamed my agent. When I didn't have an agent, I spent time looking for a new agent so I would have somebody to blame.
