I thought, 'Wow, if we could have a career that was five or six years long, that would be fantastic.' And, of course, never even thinking it would still be something I'd be doing in 45 years.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I had no illusions that my career would be any longer than three years tops.
I had in mind a long career.
I'm not really too worried about what I'm gonna do next, because I just think of my career as, like, having sixty years ahead of me.
Most people don't hold a job for 45 years. They pass on or want to retire. I don't want to retire. My real goal is to do 50 years on 'Sesame Street,' and I only got 4-and-a-half years to go.
There's no way I would have thought I would have had the career that I did and the longevity. Absolutely no idea.
What I wanted more than anything was a long career.
I hope to be around past the 90's. I don't want to just be categorized as one of this era. My goal is to have a career that stands.
I wanted to have a career that would last a hundred years if possible.
I'm so lucky to have a career in my fifties. And to still have the desire to do it. I don't think about retirement.
The secret of long life is double careers. One to about age sixty, then another for the next thirty years.
