We also own a little boat and I'm like a kid with it. I take off early in the morning, fishing rod in tow, and just drift about the ocean all day.

In many ways, that affection is the real reward for 56 years in the business. Although the money ain't exactly bad either.

I worked with the world's greatest talents and then went home to the world's greatest woman. It was, and is, a great life.
