children people four
I don't have any children; I have four middle-aged people.
sex thinking people
So I think we're kind of an alternate choice for people who have had it with sex and violence.
people
We all know we're going to die. We're all circling the drain. Some of us are closer than others. I'm 90, I know I'm closer to the drain than most people.
home people shy
I wasn't a falling-in-the-gutter type. I drank at home because it relaxed me. I was shy around new people, but after a drink or two, I became more sociable.
real people groups
No, no, it was the relationships. That was that group. People believed that Rob and Laura were really married in real life. You know, a lot of people believed that.
people funny-people mets
There's a lot of very funny people I'd love to work with that I've never met, of course. I love Steve Martin and Jim Carrey.
thinking people choices
Some people never change their mind through their whole lives, about anything, despite new information that comes in. And now that we know that homosexuality is not a choice, it's biological, I think we have to love and understand them.
people advice training
Young people ask me for advice, and I tell them to do what I didn't do. Get some training. I took jobs that required talents I didn't have.
world tribes
There are tribes all over the world who sing and dance every day as part of their lives. And we oughta do that.
needs enough enjoy
You need someone to love, and something to do that you enjoy, and something to hope for, and that's enough for me.
guy important sideways
The most important thing for old guys is never start going down the stairs sideways.
kids thinking two
I have two kids who were like me, we get out of bed feeling good, and the other two would sit at the breakfast table and grumble. I think it's born into us. I usually wake up feeling pretty good. Looking forward to the day.
moving thinking talking
People think I'm talking like I'm in perfect health, but I have all the infirmities for my age. I have arthritis and all those things. But if you keep moving, that won't bother you.
vocal-cords cords vocal
I sing all day. And it's good for you. Good for your vocal cords.
