I had more energy at 50. On the other hand, at 75, I've probably got a little more wisdom and good judgment than I had at 50 because I've got more experience. But I haven't really changed. I'm still driven by the same philosophy.

Life is like a B-movie. You don't want to leave in the middle of it but you don't want to see it again.

If I only had a little humility, I would be perfect.
