Here is my biggest takeaway after 60 years on the planet: There is great value in being fearless. For too much of my life, I was too afraid, too frightened by it all. That fear is one of my biggest regrets.

It's very odd, being older, because in a way it's hard to own the past, even.

Some people say they're retired and it means they have time to do things they want to do. I have always had the privilege to engage in my hobbies as if they were work. And they are. So hobbies are work, but work that you want to do; they are play. Retirement? That sounds like you're going to passively walk into the sunset and disappear.

My thinking about plastic surgery is this. I haven't had it, but never say never. Because when you do, you are definitely going to go there.

Memories are simply moments that refuse to be ordinary.

What celebrities are useful for is bringing attention to the public and making them more aware. They can be unbelievably effective.

I've done all kinds of things I said I wouldn't do and, of course, now I'm glad. Thrilled.
