Infinite money might allow me to achieve unbounded creativity.

Not being in pain – I have back problems and had shoulder surgery just before Christmas and there isn’t a day that goes by when I am not in pain.

Two ears. I am deaf in my right ear and I’ve just developed musical tinnitus – it’s not an interesting tune and you don’t choose it. I had three weeks of Hare Krishna night and day. Then it changed to Rod Stewart’s Sailing.
