"The thought of my mortality - I think about it a lot. I find it motivating. It can be any time that your number's up."

Previous Quote

We think of mortality so little these days... I thought of the stern Victorian determination to keep death in mind, the uncompromising tombstones. Remember, pilgrim, as you pass by, As you are now so once was I: As I am so will you be.
