I want to say that probably 24 hours after I told CBS that I was stepping down at my 65th birthday I was already regretting it. And I regretted it every day since.

The idea of regretting not doing this seemed insane to me. Sitting in the corner at a bar at age 60 saying: 'I could've been Bond. Buy me a drink.' That's the saddest place I could be. At least now at 60 I can say: 'I was Bond. Now buy me a drink.'
