The business is built on slowing or even stopping the aging process.

The West Wing seems to be feeding the myth about how presidential politics are.

I try to watch only real things, which basically amounts to C-Span for me. I like real people in real situations. I learn from that.

Clint Eastwood is aging beautifully. But someone like Burt Reynolds and others are practically destroying their faces in the amount of work they have.

I live out in the desert, in farm country. I'm around a lot of farmers, guys with packing houses, that sort of thing. Half the time, these guys are in their pajamas or in their slippers. It's their place.

If you watch Cheers, in 12 years they didn't age a day.
