I think that’s what happens when you get old. You try to squeeze every drop out of life instead of remembering that as human beings, we do bold, fearless things to push the race forward, and that’s not a sport for old men. Like I said earlier, I think we’re just kind of at a place where, not to be agist or anything like that, but I think a generation is coming to an end of their usefulness, and we’re at a place where it’s time for something new. We don’t need people who are afraid of tomorrow running things. It’s dangerous, and it’s not good.
