Alan Rosenberg: What are some of the biggest changes you've noticed over the decades?

Robert Klein: I don't know I'm more cautious about physical things, bending down for a paperclip, I make an appointment and then I make the preliminary move, I survey whether I can bend at all, then I bend down to get the paperclip. I make certain accommodations to my own feelings about it. Like I refuse to push hair around anymore, I'm proud that the older I get the more I look like Benjamin Franklin. I mean the guy was as cool as can be you know a great man. Um, I get my own haircuts, I say leave a lot on the sides please, I want you to shave it real close all the way up here, leave a little hair here, shave it here. In the back cut a round circle here cause there may be an opening in a monastery in Belgium.
