I just wanna live for another 20-25 years. A couple things I always wanted to do, one was to drive at Indianapolis. The other thing I wanted to do was jump out of an airplane at 30,000 ft. without a parachute and land in a haystack in the Hilton hotel parking lot.

And [the last] thing I wanted but never got to do had something to do with Liz Taylor but she's getting a little old and a little fat.
