With age, you get to a place where you don't want to knock people out. You just want to give people a hug.

I have no problem if someone wants to hug me - if I know him!

If I want to know how I'm doing at work, I don't wait for a pat on the back; I ask the people who will give me a clear, objective opinion. When I need a real, arms-wrapped-around-me hug, I go to someone who does that. I stopped getting disappointed by my expectations from non-huggers.

I love hugging people. I still hug everybody in my meet-and-greet lines.

Now, perfectly ordinary people will give each other hugs. I mean, it used to be that a hug was reserved for if you came back from Australia - you know, back in the '40s and '50s.

Where I live if someone gives you a hug it's from the heart.

I love meeting people, and I know it's so difficult for people to come up to me and introduce themselves, so when they do, I'll grab them and hug them. It makes their day, you know? I love that, and I get positive energy from that.

I'll put it out there: I love getting hugs.

I'm more the sort of person who doesn't like hugging strangers because we don't know each other, so we shouldn't.

But most people don't come up to me and express a lot of emotion.
