"The truth is, part of me is every age.
I'm a three-year-old, I'm a five-year-old,
I'm a thirty-seven-year-old, I'm a fifty-year-old.
I've been through all of them and I know what it's like.
I delight in being a child when it's appropriate to
be a child.
I delight in being a wise old man when it's appropriate to
be  a wise old man.
Think of all I can be! I am every age up to my own.
Do you understand?"
