from their past. Everything you live through helps to make you
the person you are now.

There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents,
the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of people
you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will truly
have defeated age.

I was not intrigued with the accoutrements of success and
fame, the furs, jewels, expensive automobiles and mansions
.

I sat spellbound in that Pozzuoli movie house. It was what these
performers on the screen were doing, not what they received
for doing it.
