I loved the idea of doing a love story with people over the age of 60 and a film that will hopefully give so many of the audience a chance to see themselves on the screen.

New York was the only city I knew in the world where you could be desperately lonely at nine in the morning, crossing the street for a bagel at Gristede's, and find that seven hours later you were drinking Irish coffee at P.J. Clarke's with all the friends you had inherited along the way.

There's no journey worth taking except the journey through one's self. That's the most important journey you take. I found that out as I went around the world many times: I was learning about me.

Some people think I look like a sweet potato, I consider myself a spud with a heart of gold.

Prayer is speaking to God. Meditation is listening to God. Trust tranquility.

I've been through so much of my own self-search that I'm not as consumed with who I am as I used to be.

Being old is such a treat!
