Julia, what a pleasure it is.

And I must say, you know, of all the things you've achieved in your life, I love the fact that we are in a position here where you are sort of touting me as the superior between us because it's called wiser than me.

So evidently you think I'm wiser than you are.

I'm not sure about it, but let's go down that road and see what we can discover.

Are you comfortable if I ask your real age?

Yeah, I'm 76 now.

And, you know, we could spend hours talking about age and aging.

But I will tell you that I'm real.

I get real.

You know, gravity has had its effect.

You know, I look in the mirror and I think, those breasts cannot be hanging that low.

They just can't be, you know.

But on the other hand, I'm really against organized limitations.

So health care companies, for instance, want to put out, well, at 76, you're going to be feeling this.

You're going to be achy.

It's going to be hard to move in the morning.

And I say, bullshit.

You know, I wake up and I feel how I feel and I get real with it.

And I'll tell you, right now at 76, I feel as strong, as fit, as agile, as energetic as I ever have in my life.

So, you know, maybe if you and I talk in 10 years, 20 years, I'll say, well, things have slowed down.
