What I like about gyrotonics is you feel like you really elongated yourself for the day... As we all get older, everything changes and moves, and there's natural ways to exercise. I think it's important, and I think it's something that can help keep things in place.
My palate is simpler than it used to be. A young chef adds and adds and adds to the plate. As you get older, you start to take away.

One of the pluses of getting older is you set some limits.
When I was young, I had two older sisters, and since I was the youngest in my family, my mom took me around with her all the time. I was forever with her when she was having coffee in the middle of the afternoon with her three sisters. And they would talk about men. I absorbed a lot of that.
As an older child, I was a huge 'Anne Of Green Gables' fan.

What I've found - and the older I get, the more I understand this and stand behind it - is, my whole life has been an exploration of telling the truth. It's scary to be truthful, and it's scary to reveal yourself, and I'm very attracted to doing things that scare me.
I am more into the old school guy than I am with the new school guys. I came in young and I had to pay my dues to be considered a vet.

Being on a book tour is like being on the seesaw when you're a little kid.

I'm realizing that for so much of my life I had an older viewpoint; I saw things as an older person. That's common among change-of-life babies. So I have this dichotomy where I'm either, like, super young or feel like I'm coming to the end of my years.
