And me, myself personally, in order for there to be any kind of longevity there's gotta be some history.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If you ask what is the single most important key to longevity, I would have to say it is avoiding worry, stress and tension. And if you didn't ask me, I'd still have to say it.
Somebody said to me this morning, 'To what do you attribute your longevity?' I don't know. I mean, I couldn't have planned my life out better. By all accounts I should be dead! The abuse I put my body through: the drugs, the alcohol, the lifestyle I've lived the last 30 years!
Longevity is something I never gave a second thought to. I guess it's the shadow of growing up in post WWII, but I never believed I would live past 20. Here I am though... a senior citizen... my voice and heart are stronger than ever, but boredom is the greatest enemy so I have to be careful not to slip over the edge.
Fame comes and goes. Longevity is the thing to aim for.
I am afforded a bit of easy wonderment in relative comfort as to how humans have lasted so long. Climate- and geography-wise, the planet seems to have little use for us.
To sustain longevity, you have to evolve.
I don't work on longevity, I work on keeping people healthy.
My career has been a gradual climb. I think that's part of the reason why I've had longevity.
For me, the key to longevity - and immortality, in a sense - has to do with transformation.
I'm just one of the lucky people. I have no other reason for my longevity.
