The celebrated author Philip Roth shares a laugh with Tina Brown in this segment of TheDailyBeast.com's Web series, 'The Beast Bar.'

The topic: aging. When asked about being in his 70's, Roth jokes that he's "looking forward enormously" to his 80's.

On a more serious note, Roth says that the proximity of death may not be a source of daily brooding, but he certainly thinks about it.

As for his goals for the rest of his life, "I don't care about X more books. I care about being occupied in writing."
