You know you're getting old when all the names in your black book have M. D. after them.
You may get real tired watching me, but I'm not going to quit.
I think the reason I'm still here is that I was never enough in fashion that I had to be replaced by something new.

Certainly news has changed completely, and the morning shows are not really designed to bring you the news, except to tell you what happened overnight, and the rest of it is a kind of magazine mentality - a little bit of this, a little bit of that. It's harder to be an educated and informed citizen.
I am not the first man who wanted to make changes in his life at 60 and I won't be the last. It is just that others can do it with anonymity.
