This is a wonderful way to celebrate an 80th birthday... I wanted to be 65 again but they wouldn't let me - Homeland Security.
To my surprise my 70s are nicer than my 60s and my 60s than my 50s and I wouldn't wish my teens and 20s on my enemies.
I wouldn't say I was the best manager in the business. But I was in the top one.
In less enlightened times the best way to impress women was to own a hot car. But women wised up and realized it was better to buy their own hot cars so they wouldn't have to ride around with jerks.
In prison inmates sometimes use Cheetos and grape juice as makeup. I wouldn't use that beauty regimen around Britney Spears - she might lick your face off!
There's a sadness to the human condition that I think music is good for. It gives a counterpoint to the visual beauty and adds depth to pictures that they wouldn't have if the music wasn't there.
Doors open because you're beautiful but I wouldn't cultivate beauty to the exclusion of brains.
My attitude about Hollywood is that I wouldn't walk across the street to pull one of those executives out of the snow if he was bleeding to death. Not unless I was paid for it. None of them ever did me any favors.
The world is full of musicians who can play great and you wouldn't cross the road to see them. It's people who have this indefinable attitude that are the good ones.
I look at Jagger and the like and if I see a good attitude I'll admire it but I wouldn't copy their style.
A game one of my sisters will play with me in my first year of being alive is called Good Baby Bad Baby. This consists of being told I am a good baby until I smile and laugh then being told I am a bad baby until I burst into tears. This training will stand me in good stead all through my life.
