Transcript
00:00I can tell you, 50 years of experience, I've learned to put it down and go home.
00:05My happiness doesn't come from the roles I play or the accolades people have given me.
00:09And was that always true?
00:10No, absolutely not.
00:12I'm telling you from 70 years of experience, don't listen to them.
00:17Yeah.
00:18Listen to yourself.
00:19Yeah.
00:19Spend quiet time.
00:21Five minutes every morning.
00:22Just be quiet.
00:23Hard to do.
00:24Yeah.
00:25I'm talking to everybody in this room.
00:27Very hard to do.
00:28Five minutes of quiet.

00:38What would you do with five minutes of silence?
00:40I pray for your generation because we did not have to deal with what you've had to deal with.
00:47And it's our fault for putting it in your hands.
00:49There were no nine million opinions of every moment of my day.
00:54No documentation.
00:54People that like you and then suddenly they hate you.
00:57And you don't understand why.
