This has been a wonderful life, absolutely terrific. There are very few things that I would go back and do differently, if I had that control.

I wouldn't want to enter into a relationship in which there was this inhibiting factor that said it can never be forever.

I would surround myself with people who know what they're doing.

I'm sort of doing a lot of the things now that I never thought I would and that I wished I had done a year or so ago.

I think marriage, in its loosest sense, is people committing to each other saying I love you and I like being with you and that is wonderful. I don't see the need to formalize it unless you plan to have children and you want the fair distribution of assets.

Chronic disease like a troublesome relative is something you can learn to manage but never quite escape.

Worrying is a necessary part of life.
