Everyone should dance. And everyone should sing. People say, 'Well, I can't sing.' Everybody can sing. That you do it badly is no reason not to sing.

I have a beautiful, young wife who sings and dances, so there's a lot of duetting going on at my house.

Once you're dead, your worries are over.

A lot of actors seem to dislike typecasting these days. The funny thing is, that's a fairly recent development. It used to be that actors wanted to be typecast so audiences could remember them and identify with them.

Working with my son was like falling off a log. I had so much fun doing it.

I cannot live alone.

The thing I'm most proud of is my family, the way they've turned out.

All that nipping and tucking doesn't make you look younger - only stranger.

There are no sure answers, only better questions.

If I'd known I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself.

I'm kind of proud of being a love child.

Unfortunately, the spouses of performers have a terrible, terrible life. They get shunted aside, pushed aside, ignored.

Divorce is something that I never dreamed would happen to me. But it did.

I'm a very neat person.

I love musicals, but I find it's just so deadening. You know, 30 takes, you do a little piece here and a little piece there. There's hours and hours of waiting. And to me, that's as far away from real performance as you can get.

My memory's not too good.

I'm the Steven Spielberg of Malibu.

The years have been just full of surprises for me, and a lot of fun.

I swim, go to the gym, and do a little dancing every day and a little singing.

My life has been a magnificent indulgence.

My wife didn't like Hollywood or its stars, but she made an exception when, in 1972, we were invited to dinner - cooked by Frank Sinatra.

Here's the truth. Your teens and twenties are your Plan A. At 50, you're assessing whether Plan B or Plan C or any of the other plans you hatched actually worked. Your sixties and seventies, they're an improvisation.

I never had a lot of confidence in myself.

I have a lot of friends who say that one of the freedoms of being older is you don't care what other people think, which I don't think is right. You care what other people think, but if you're comfortable in your own skin, that doesn't bother you.

I pay attention to the news. I take the 'New York Times.' I do the Saturday crossword.

I've always wanted to learn kick boxing.

I don't think parents can protect their kids in this media-nut culture.

There are no more Walt Disneys anymore.

The American people hit the streets and did something that the government wouldn't do: the Civil Rights Act. It didn't go down well with the corporate world.

When I was a kid, I had ambitions for being a television announcer, which was before television took off, you know, in the late '40s.

Dick Martin was a good buddy, and he was always a lot of fun to have around.

I've always thought if I could pick my interviewer, it'd be Charlie Rose, who I think is the best.

I'm not cantankerous.

I was born in the Coolidge administration. Can you believe that? So I've seen a lot of politics.

The first time I met Mary Tyler Moore, I thought she was just beautiful, but I thought she was a little young.

I'm an old, white-haired guy. If I'm not recognized, I'm treated pretty much like every other elderly. But if people recognize me, it's a whole different thing.

That rule about having to act one's age? I just don't buy it.

Every morning I have something to do, I'm better off. It's bad to get up and not have something to do.

My maternal grandfather owned a grocery store that also sold kosher meat. He did well.

I love to harmonize.

It's quite hard to act yourself all the time.

I never even had a bachelorhood: I went straight from my parents' home to a marriage.

I'm crazy about Judi Dench.

You can't wake up one morning and say, 'Right, now I'm going to be a leader.' I think it is something that's in you, that you're born with, and which develops. Some people have that character, that personality and it comes naturally. You can't force it. It has to be authentic and natural. Innate.

It is always good to be careful or vigilant.

I always make decisions for the good of the team of France.

An invitation to the national team is not a declaration of love.

Quality has no age.

Being prudent does not mean being fearful.

While there is life, there is hope.
