A post shared by Norman Lear (@thenormanlear)“He’s 100 years old and still working hard — that says a lot about his drive and passion,” said Sony Pictures Entertainment’s Tony Vinciquerra said to Variety. “If you look at his body of work, some of his shows were controversial when they aired, but he pushed people to think differently about issues like race and bigotry when it was most needed. His vision and his ideas are always spot-on.”Following the cover, Lear then gave his fans some advice to live in the moment and treasure every second of life.“Living in the moment,” he said.
“The moment between past and present, present and past, the moment between after and next. The hammock in the middle of after and next/ Treasure it. Use it — with love.”
