I often buy myself presents. Sometimes I will spend $100,000 in one day in a posh boutique.

My biggest hero, Gregory Peck, was my birthday present on April 14, 1973. I just sat and stared at him.

The main prank that we play with props is for people's birthdays. The special effects people will put a little explosive in the cake so it blows up in their face - that's always fun to play on a guest star, or one of the trainees or someone who's new.

To my surprise, my 70s are nicer than my 60s and my 60s than my 50s, and I wouldn't wish my teens and 20s on my enemies.

When I turned 60, it didn't bother me at all.
