I did go to school - my kind of school. When I was a kid I went out ... and you meet people. You talk to them. Anybody says something that makes sense, it stays with you, rubs off on you. That kind of school.

More quotes by George Burns
How can I die? I'm booked.
George Burns
Love is a lot like a backache. It doesn't show up on x-rays, but you know it's there.
George Burns
I use the cigar for timing purposes. If I tell a joke, I smoke as long as they laugh and when they stop laughing I take the cigar out of my mouth and start my next joke.
George Burns
It takes only one drink to get me drunk. The trouble is, I can't remember if it's the thirteenth or the fourteenth.
George Burns
Bridge is a game that separates the men from the boys. It also separates husbands and wives.
George Burns
I can't understand why I flunked American history. When I was a kid there was so little of it.
George Burns
When I die I intend to take my music with me. I don't know what's out there, but I want to make sure it's in my key.
George Burns
I drink coffee with my right hand, and I smoke with my left. But I talk with both hands.
George Burns
I can't afford to die I'd lose too much money.
George Burns
You know you're getting old when you stoop to tie your shoelaces and wonder what else you could do while you're down there.
George Burns
Critics are eunuchs at a gang bang.
George Burns
Just because you're old that doesn't mean you're more forgetful. The same people whose names I can't remember now I couldn't remember fifty years ago. . .
George Burns
Be quick to learn and wise to know.
George Burns
I love to sing, and I love to drink scotch. Most people would rather hear me drink scotch.
George Burns
What actresses do today when they appear on the screen is what they did once upon a time for getting to appear on the screen.
George Burns
If you stay in the business long enough and get to be old enough, you get to be new again.
George Burns
When I wasn't working, I put the blame directly where it belonged - I blamed my agent. When I didn't have an agent, I spent time looking for a new agent so I would have somebody to blame.
George Burns
Since I've made it to 87 so far, obviously my two kids and my seven grandchildren haven't been too hard on me. On the other hand, the fact that I have an unlisted phone number and move a lot might have something to do with it.
George Burns
I smoke ten to fifteen cigars a day. At my age I have to hold on to something.
George Burns
Age to me means nothing. I can't get old I'm working. I was old when I was twenty-one and out of work. As long as you're working, you stay young. When I'm in front of an audience, all that love and vitality sweeps over me and I forget my age.
George Burns
