The struggle goes on. The victory is in the struggle, for me. And I accepted that a long time ago.

The years between fifty and seventy are the hardest. You are always being asked to do things, and yet you are not decrepit enough to turn them down.

I'm seventy-one now, so it's hard to imagine a dramatic change.

There have been a lot of challenges over the years that I have overcome.

My experience has been in a short 77 years that in the end when you fight for a desperate cause and have good reasons to fight, you usually win.

I'm happy with what I've done but it's a challenge to try to win more.

I'm an old man of 73, and I've been around a long time. If I don't know something by now, I probably never will.

You can't win for losing. Either you fulfill their stereotype of being a radical 60's person or you've sold out. In fact, of course, millions of people who were active in the 60's are doing work on issues that try to reflect their values.

I thrive on physical confrontation. It's a competitive juice in me. I'm always going to have that in the back of my mind. So whether I'm 49, 59, 69 or 109, I'm always going to think that I can go out and compete.

I'm not an old, experienced hand at politics. But I am now seasoned enough to have learned that the hardest thing about any political campaign is how to win without proving that you are unworthy of winning.
