What do you love about being your age?
The biggest surprise is, I think I feel younger at 61 than I did at 25. I think I feel more youthful and buoyant. And I think that I found my purpose. I keep saying it, famous quote. The purpose of my life is not what I do, it's what happens to people when I do what I do. That's it.
