I would never say, "I'm retired." I believe if I decided to just not work, in six months everybody would just forget whether you were working or not.
Jack NicholsonI've never lost a friend over work. I come from a small-town environment and I remember my childhood impressions that, if you were a conniver or a fink or whatever, everybody knew about it and you were a louse for the rest of your life. So I never lost those values in some way.
