I never had the sense that there was an end: that there was a retirement or that there was a jackpot.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People think retiring is fun. Well, maybe, but if you have a certain kind of fire inside, there is no end in sight.
I've never thought about the end of my career. I've had this growing motto in my life to live day to day - and when you live day to day, it's hard to talk years.
Obsolescence never meant the end of anything, it's just the beginning.
I tried to make a distinct point that I wasn't retiring - that I was moving on.
The pain of retirement means loss.
When I was younger, I thought about retiring.
At that time I was making the largest salary known on television and I didn't want to see it die because those were the years paying off when I wasn't making anything.
To retire is to begin to die.
I always said that when it was time to retire, I would know it, and I would just tip my hat to the crowds.
Retiring for good wasn't difficult. I knew at the time it was right. I was no longer capable of achieving the standards I'd set myself and there was no light at the end of the tunnel.
