I think that age as a number is not nearly as important as health. You can be in poor health and be pretty miserable at 40 or 50. If you're in good health, you can enjoy things into your 80s.

I don't know why people are so obsessed with age anyway. I mean, 90 is the new 70; 70 is the new 50 and 50 is the new 40; so the whole act-your-age thing? Only up to a point.

Because I'm in an adult world and I'm really working, my age is just a number. It's not really who I am.

I really feel better about aging at the age of 86 than I did at 70.

I suddenly find out that I'm 60, and I get shocked by the number, because I feel like I'm 20.

There's an old rule of thumb in politics that 90 percent of all 90 year-olds vote and 25 percent of all 25 year-olds vote.

Don't worry about polls, but if you do, don't admit it.

My perspective was always being on a number one show doesn't mean anything if I'm not still working consistently at 40 to 50 and 60 years old.
