I'm a very rigorous person. I like to take exercise. People get mired in old age, they get bent and twisted, but I can stop that.

Old age is an insult. It's like being smacked.

Old age ain't no place for sissies.

Why do people talk of the horrors of old age? It's great. I feel like a fine old car with the parts gradually wearing out, but I'm not complaining, ... Those who find growing old terrible are people who haven't done what they wanted with their lives.

I wouldn't be young again even if it were possible, but I am not going to pretend that growing old is all sweetness and light.

Old age is no place for sissies.
