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."
