When I retire I'm going to spend my evenings by the fireplace going through those boxes. There are things in there that ought to be burned.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My wife, Daniela, and I live in an old house from 1810 with three fireplaces at the end of a dead-end dirt road on Cape Cod, so I turn the trees into firewood for us and a friend of mine sells the rest.
I have a fireplace in my kitchen that I light every night, no matter what.
If there was a fire at my house I would throw more things on it. The only thing I would take out? Myself!
In Brentwood we had a big safe-deposit box to put manuscripts in if we left town during fire season. It was such a big box that we never bothered to clean it out.
People think retiring is fun. Well, maybe, but if you have a certain kind of fire inside, there is no end in sight.
You know me, I've got to find some way to get a fresh fire.
I archive a lot of my clothes and have them wrapped up and in boxes. I call them 'little tombs' and keep them in a storage space... I would never get rid of the dress I wore on the night I won my Oscar. When I die, someone can have it, but not a minute before!
Things that burn very brightly, we wonder how long they can keep burning.
I will not retire while I've still got my legs and my make-up box.
If my closet were burning, it'd be my collection of jackets I would save - they always make me feel pulled-together.
