 | 108 is my favorite number. |  |
|
 | How come? |  |
|
|
|
|
|
 | After I saw the bicentennial celebration as a kid in New York, I decided I wanted to live til the tricentennial but I didn't want to die on the tricentennial, I wanted to live a few years past that--to 108. |  |
|
 | Oh, my favorite number is 5. |  |
|
|
|
|
|
 | Any particular reason? |  |
|
 | No. Oh, no, I take it back, my favorite numbers are Jasper Johns' 0-9 all layered on top of one another--an orgy of numbers or maybe it's a subtle dance of the 10 veils. |  |
