Every age has its happiness and troubles.

I see badly, I hear badly, and I feel bad, but everything's fine.

I have got only one wrinkle, and I am sitting on it.

I have a rather masculine nature. I'm not afraid of anything.

I had a hell of a lot of will power! A hell of a will power, you understand? And it was very useful to me.

I wait for death... and journalists.

I took pleasure when I could... I acted clearly and morally and without regret. I'm very lucky.
