it would have been wonderful

"If I had to live my life over again, I would have children.
That’s the great mistake I made.

It’s too late now. The idea of being a homosexual and raising children was one that was just not acceptable until, my goodness, I’d say the 1970s or 1980s. You want to live long enough to see your children grow up, they’re not puppies. The joy is not just to have them, but to watch them change and grow.

So, yes, that is a great regret.”
