I don't want to end up being a circus act, doing my most famous tricks when I'm 70.

I am the 'Cosmic Dancer' who dances his way out of the womb and into the tomb on 'Electric Warrior.' I'm not frightened to get up there and groove about in front of six million people on TV because it doesn't look cool. That's the way I would do it at home.

I want to be more physical and theatrical within the stand-up. There might be dance moments, and people better watch out - I will gallop.

I haven't danced since 1973; I'm too old.

All I want to do is be onstage. A performer needs to perform.

I've been performing since 1955. I'm going to have to keep performing till I die because I'm not going to die in some rocking chair with a big ol' beer belly.

I'd rather be a creature of the night than an old dude.

I admire those people who hold on to their elegance in old age but I'd rather have fun.

I certainly don't want to be an angry old artist.
