64, but so are Paul McCartney, Muhammad Ali and Barbra Streisand. And Tony Sirico will be in less than a month.

Come on, old folks. There’s got to be somebody here older than me.

If it makes you feel any better, my mother is pushing 60 and I’m a college sophomore. She still gets compliments, too.

I am 58 years old. I have a friend who is one month older than I am, and she tells everyone that she is 45. I never lie about my age; I worked hard at staying alive this long, so I’m not gonna undercut my achievement by whittling off a few hard-earned years.
