Why not retire?
It hasn’t entered
my mind.
Do you think you will ever
retire?
Not as long as these old tires are still rolling along.
What’s the best aspect of working past 80?
You’re still young at heart.
What’s the worst?
The Grim Reaper is out to get
you.
How do you keep up-to-date with industry
trends and
learn those “new tricks” they say old dogs
can’t?
Us old dogs try to learn the new tricks, but, oh, how
we resist.
What’s your career goal?
I honestly believe that
the best part of my career is ahead of me. I’m
playing better than ever.
What advice would you give to people
who want to follow in your footsteps?
Follow in your own footsteps.
What’s the best advice
you ever got?
I gave it
to myself: Take what you want out of life, but pay for
it.
What’s the secret of
your vitality?
I listen to
my body.
Do you work more or fewer hours today
than you did in your 30s and 40s?
I work fewer hours, but I try to make each one really
count. I may not be as good
hourwise as I once was, but I’m as good as I once
was.
