This war is like an actress who is getting old. It is less and less photogenic and more and more dangerous.
As soon as an actress is past 40, they call her a grande dame. As long as I'm here in good health, I'm stable.
It's difficult to find an actress prepared to play a fading star.

I'd like to drift into Jessica Tandy-type parts.
