<ul>
<li><strong>His advice to young people</strong> – “I really don't keep up, but I have depended upon my grandchildren to keep me a bit ‘in the loop’. My advice would be to make sure you are still keeping in touch with the views and values of the older generation.”</li>
<li><strong>The most important thing in life</strong> – “Family.”</li>
<li><strong>On people calling him “adorable”</strong> – “Since it was a term I've never thought about in [relation] to myself, I was delighted when the person who wrote the article […] had it changed.”</li>
<li><strong>When asked if he still felt sexual attraction</strong> – “The joy of seeing beauty is no respecter of age.”</li>
<li><strong>On death</strong> – “Death is one of the few things in life that I (fortunately) do not have control of. Therefore, why worry about it.”</li>
<li><strong>On the future and the potential of younger people</strong> – “Most important to me is the opportunity to try to make a difference in life – to relate to other people – to help preserve our environment. I sincerely hope you can reach beyond the television screen and realize that each of us can make a difference and find meaning.”</li>
<li><strong>What it’s like to be “old”</strong> – “I can't imagine how it could be better. I used to think people were old at 60!”</li>
</ul>
