Sex at age 90 is like trying to shoot pool with a rope.
I look to the future because that's where I'm going to spend the rest of my life.
Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city.
At my age flowers scare me.
I smoke ten to fifteen cigars a day. At my age I have to hold on to something.

I'd rather be a failure at something I love than a success at something I hate.
I would go out with women my age, but there are no women my age.

Happiness? A good cigar, a good meal, a good cigar and a good woman - or a bad woman it depends on how much happiness you can handle.
You can't help getting older, but you don't have to get old.
I'm very pleased to be here. Let's face it, at my age I'm very pleased to be anywhere.
I'm at the age now where just putting my cigar in its holder is a thrill.
