What Surprises Me Is-even Though Discrimination Against Women And Racial Discrimination Still Exist, They Have Improved A Lot, Especially Among Artists. And Just When I Felt I Could Finally Take A Break, I Encounter The Age Discrimination. I Turned 72 And Started Noticing A Drastic Difference In People's Attitudes. I Started With Racism And Sexism In The Beginning And Fought Them So Hard And Was Finally Ready To Relax. Then, Here Comes Ageism, And I Feel Like, "give Me A Break!"

I Think Something That's Very Important For Us To Communicate Is Usually Very Simple. Like Breathing: Breathing Is Very Simple. You Don't Do A Dissonant 9th Harmony Or Something In Breathing. You Just Breathe, You Know. I Think That's How It Is With Very Important Messages.
