Barrymore: Ok. If you were to die and come back, what would you come back as?

Murphy: As a redwood. What about you?

Barrymore: I feel like I would want to come back as a scientist. I'm really into physics and astronomy right now. But back to you. Next Question. How would you like to die?

Murphy: Painlessly. I'd like to be very, very, very old. With all the technology we're inventing and what they're coming up with scientifically, people are having longer lifetimes. It's scary, but in the same sense it's also very exciting. So I would like to be happy and healthy, and live as long as possible.
