To me, growing old is great. It's the very best thing - considering the alternative.

Save your money. You're going to need twice as much money in your old age as you think.

Great acting is about listening to what they are saying ....not waiting to deliver your lines.

I have been rich and I have been poor. I know which one I prefer.

Do I believe in God? Yes I do. When you've had a life like mine, you have to.

When you reach the top, that's when the climb begins.

My understanding of women goes only as far as the pleasures.

I don't have any regrets because I'm very optimistic, and live each day as though it's the last.

The trouble with women? Elbows.

Maybe it's time we all stop trying to outsmart the truth and let it have its day.

Obsession is a young man's game, and my only excuse is that I never grew old.

I'm every bourgeois nightmare - a Cockney with intelligence and a million dollars.

It's vital to have your own space so you aren't constantly in each other's pockets.

I never listened to the people who said I should give it up, which is the main advice I got.

Use the difficulties - if you can't avoid them

A man's body may grow old, but inside his spirit can still be as young and as restless as ever.

I've always got to have one impossible dream on the back burner.

Be like a duck. Calm on the surface, but always paddling like the dickens underneath.
