I wanted to keep working because work was essentially fantastic - you got to be around people, you got to be in a family, and that family changed from job to job. It was like being in the circus.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I got the first job and kept going. Once I got a job, I very much wanted to keep getting jobs, basically. I did try to learn what I could in those first couple of decades.
I work because I want to work. Work keeps me going.
I wanted more control of my life. I wanted work to fit in, not to dominate; to support, not to lead the pattern of my life.
I wanted to get my recording and become a musician again, work; with other people, do that kind of thing because I kind of got away from that for a while once we started happening, you know, selling records, sold out concerts.
Working in Washington, trying to make a difference, that was a very meaningful time for me, a period of personal growth.
I really wanted to work and become independent.
It changed my life in a lot of ways - before I got that role I was just going from job to job, not really having enough money to be able to do what I wanted to do.
Work? I never worked a day in my life. I always loved what I was doing, had a passion for it.
I really wanted to retire and rest and spend more time with my children, my grandchildren and of course with my wife.
I wanted to live the life, a different life. I didn't want to go to the same place every day and see the same people and do the same job. I wanted interesting challenges.
