The last thing I want is to die and then be put into the Hall of Fame. It's not because I won't be there to enjoy it, exactly. It's because I want to enjoy it with family and friends and fans. I want to see them enjoy it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The last thing I want is for people to go through the motions in life. We're all meant to do different things, but there's a lot of opportunity for us to do some great things.
I don't want to achieve immortality by being inducted into the Hall of Fame. I want to achieve immortality by not dying.
I've always said I've wanted to be around forever. I never wanted to be the latest, greatest thing. I want to be like Willie Nelson - touring when I'm 70. To do that, you can't be the latest, greatest thing because those things fizzle out.
As soon as I finish one thing, there's always something else on the horizon I want to do. I don't have any intention of retiring from anything.
Why retire from something if you're loving it so much and enjoying it so much, and you're blessed with another group of people to work with like the gang on 'Hot in Cleveland?' Why would I think of retiring? What would I do with myself?
People can tell you what to do, but ultimately, we're all going to die, so how do you want to live?
I want to be able to experience everything. I want to experience being a husband, experience being a father, experience, maybe, hopefully, someday being a grandfather, and all those things. I want that experience. When I die, I want to be exhausted.
My eventual goal is to win a championship. And before I retire, I just want to win a championship. That's it.
I want to be the greatest actor that ever lived, frankly. I'd love that. But I don't need to be. I just want to be here. That's it.
I'm a Hall of Famer and I'm still fighting for it because I love the game and I love to play.
