"I said, 'Well, it's a very different thing.' And I went through the differences about my longevity and her limited life."
He said he then told his youngest, "You know, Ben, you always love the truth, and I'm gonna tell you the truth about life. Nobody knows when they're gonna go or when they're gonna stay ... your brother left at 16 -- too young -- your mother left at 57 -- that was too young. But who's to say?"
"I could die tomorrow. You could. I mean, anybody can," he continued. "So let's look at life ... it's part of life, you see? You don't know exactly. You just do your best at trying to live the longest you can."
