The idea of regretting not doing this seemed insane to me. Sitting in the corner at a bar at age 60 saying: 'I could've been Bond. Buy me a drink.' That's the saddest place I could be. At least now at 60 I can say: 'I was Bond. Now buy me a drink.'
Age is getting to know all the ways the world turns so that if you cannot turn the world the way you want you can at least get out of the way so you won't get run over.
Old age is an excellent time for outrage. My goal is to say or do at least one outrageous thing every week.
And from a military school which taught me that to fit into society you can't just do anything you damn well please because it will suit you. And that it's much better to be with the winners than it is with the losers.
