Unexpected AARP Bulletin Gem

A photograph of a newspaper clipping that reads: "What's your secret, Mel? How have you sustained such a high level of creativity throughout your life? I'd say stuffed cabbage has kept me going. I love it... I don't know. I think there was some- thing rich and wonderful about growing up in Brooklyn. It was a magical place that filled you with dreams, ideals and a love of life. I remember being a little kid and actually loving being alive. They say comedians usually have a bad childhood, so they make up for it with laughter and love from the audience. . That's nonsense! For me, it's about continuing the love you got as a child. I had a lot of love as a kid, and I don't want that love to stop."
