I really love being alive. I love my family and my work. I love the opportunity I have to do things. That's what happiness is.

But the key to our marriage is the capacity to give each other a break. And to realize that it's not how our similarities work together; it's how our differences work together.

You know what's cool? My kids think I'm ordinary.

My experience is to deal with things through humor.

When prescribing one of the drugs I take, my doctor warned me of a common side effect: exaggerated, intensely vivid dreams. To be honest, I've never really noticed the difference. I've always dreamt big.

Now I feel and I say all the time that vanity is, like, long gone. I'm really free of worrying about what I look like, because it's out of my shaky hands. I don't control it. So why would I waste one second of my life worrying about it?

In my 50s I'll be dancing at my children's weddings.
