The young comedians always ask me, 'What's the secret for staying around?' I tell them, 'There is no secret - just stay around. Longevity is the most important thing.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Comedians tend to find a comfort zone and stay there and do lamer versions of themselves for the rest of their career.
Longevity is something I never gave a second thought to. I guess it's the shadow of growing up in post WWII, but I never believed I would live past 20. Here I am though... a senior citizen... my voice and heart are stronger than ever, but boredom is the greatest enemy so I have to be careful not to slip over the edge.
To keep your secret is wisdom; but to expect others to keep it is folly.
My secret to staying young... Having no sense of time.
I think longevity is more important than trying to make people realize you're around every second.
The only way to survive is to have a sense of humour.
The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age.
The secret to longevity, as I see it, has less to do with diet, or even exercise, and more to do with the environment in which a person lives: social and physical. What do I mean by this? They live rewardingly inconvenient lives.
I think I've discovered the secret of life - you just hang around until you get used to it.
If you ask what is the single most important key to longevity, I would have to say it is avoiding worry, stress and tension. And if you didn't ask me, I'd still have to say it.
