Louis Armstrong:
As long as a person breathes, they still have a chance to exercise the talents they were born with. I speak of something which I know about and have been doing all of my life, and that’s Music. And now that I am an elderly man I still feel the same about music and its creations. And at the age of “sixty-nine” I really don’t feel that I am on my way out at all. Of course a person may do a little less - but the foundation will always be there. . . . There’s no such thing as on the way out. As long as you are still doing something interesting and good. You are in business as long as you are breathing. “Yeah.” (Quoted from The Life of the Creative Spirit, p. 267.)
