I'm very pleased to be here. Let's face it, at my age I'm very pleased to be anywhere.
I was always taught to respect my elders and I've now reached the age when I don't have anybody to respect.
When I was young I was called a rugged individualist. When I was in my fifties I was considered eccentric. Here I am doing and saying the same things I did then and I'm labeled senile.
Young. Old. Just Words.
When I'm in front of an audience, all that love and vitality sweeps over me and I forget my age.
By [age] 93, I had shrunk quite a lot. My car was known as the Phantom Cadillac. People would see it whizzing by and they would swear there was no driver.
I'm at the age now where just putting my cigar in its holder is a thrill.
How can I die? I'm booked.
It's good to be here. At 98, it's good to be anywhere.
I would go out with women my age, but there are no women my age.
I smoke cigars because at my age if I don't have something to hang on to I might fall down.
