What's really important for me is, as an old man, I'm known by my own generation and the next generation know me, too.

I'm 60 years old, and I'm ready to let the next generation spread their wings.

In the good old days when I was a senator, I was my own man.

My idea is always to reach my generation. The wise writer writes for the youth of his own generation, the critics of the next, and the schoolmasters of ever afterward.

In my own defense, I wrote a one-man show, and that to me was more where I fit.

The generation that's 20 years old doesn't need the subtext of a sitcom,
