I'm waiting for my prime time.

I think I had to grow up before I experienced becoming a little boy. Because I didn't start acting like a little boy until I fell in love for the first time. When I was 33. And that love lasted almost 40 years. And now I'm 74. And I'm in love again. So really, I've been a little boy for 40-plus years. And the older I get, the younger and more little boyish I feel. Little boys are allowed to go crazy. To act irrationally. To fall in love. When I was 10 or 20 or almost 30, I didn't yet know how to fall in love. I was too adult for that. I had to wait for the arrival of real childhood. Chances are, if I live to be 90, I'll be in my prime. Acting more child-like than ever. --Jim Broede
