There are relatively few science fiction or fantasy books with the main character being an old person.

Other people, including me, have written books with main characters who were old and rich. Or old and brilliant. Old sages, old wizards, old rich people.

I'd be interested in finding out if there is a light you walk into, and if you do meet people from your life and walk hand in hand with Jesus. I would hate for my death to be tragic: I'd like to be old when it happens. But hopefully a young death is unlikely.

One of my assistants found this old German machine. It was originally used to make underwear. Like Chanel, who started with underwear fabric - jerseys - we used the machine that made underwear to make something else.

We didn't know anything about comedy duos - Abbot and Costello, Martin and Lewis - we didn't know anything about that. Kim Fields showed us a tape of Martin and Lewis and their old shows and they come through the curtain so we started doing research on them.

I learned a woman is never an old woman.

My mother was an immigrant from Lebanon to the United States. She came when she was 18 years old in 1920.

Write in such a way as that you can be readily understood by both the young and the old, by men as well as women, even by children.

No matter whether you are new or an old team member, you need time to adjust to one another.
