I had a great '70s. I survived it, and that's always good news.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Seventy years old! How did that happen? I was part of the generation that wasn't going to die.
I always wanted to live to about 70. I thought that'd be a good age.
In 1979, when I was 39, I had such a bad year, I thought it was all over. Thankfully it wasn't.
I'm one year away from 70 and I've had a good run. I really believe I'm okay.
First of all, anybody who has lasted 30 and went through the 60's is really a survivor.
Being over seventy is like being engaged in a war. All our friends are going or gone and we survive amongst the dead and the dying as on a battlefield.
You can't be as old as I am without waking up with a surprised look on your face every morning: 'Holy Christ, whaddya know - I'm still around!' It's absolutely amazing that I survived all the booze and smoking and the cars and the career.
As I grew older, I worked less as an actor and as a model, and I went back to what I had tried to do when I was young but wasn't really available. I'm so glad now to be in my sixties and to be able to go back to school.
I wish I was a teenager in the 1970s.
I was born in '74, so I missed out on all the great early '60s and early '70s.
