The sort of lifetime achievement stuff that I'm getting now is kind of like Tom Sawyer funeral because they all know I'm sick, i am getting buildings named after me and awards and stuff. The truth is, I have more money than I'm interested in spending. Everyone in my family is taken care of. And I enjoy this.
