I think you always need to take new, big risks from a storytelling point of view.

It's not catastrophes, murders, deaths, diseases, that age and kill us it's the way people look and laugh, and run up the steps of omnibuses.

I smoke ten to fifteen cigars a day. At my age I have to hold on to something.

Old age is a special problem for me because I've never been able to shed the mental image I have of myself - a lad of about 19.

The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion or ethnic background, is that we all believe we are above-average drivers.

Why do people talk of the horrors of old age? It's great. I feel like a fine old car with the parts gradually wearing out, but I'm not complaining,... Those who find growing old terrible are people who haven't done what they wanted with their lives.

I'm inspired by people who keep on rolling, no matter their age.
