uh injuring yourself or getting old or any of that you're very physical yeah a lot of people
say you know you're going to get old you're going to lose the physicality and that but i
suppose you know i look at my father who is a real interesting character and i i think you know even
if i lose a physicality i'm going to be a great character when i get old you know like my father
is the happiest man on the face of the earth that's great he laughs after everything you say
and he's deaf in one ear so he dips and laughs dips and laughs
