Henry Winkler 'is in heaven' when he's working

The 80-year-old actor has enjoyed a hugely successful career in the film and TV business, and Henry doesn't have any intention of walking away from Hollywood.

During an appearance on Graham Bensinger’s In Depth podcast, Henry shared: "I love the job. I love my job.

"It is like putting a puzzle, a jigsaw puzzle, together and most of the pieces [are] of the same colour."

The veteran actor explained that he's at his happiest when he's on set.

The movie star doesn't worry about dying, but he has given thought to "withering".

Henry - who studied theatre at both Emerson College and the Yale School of Drama - said: "I think I have thought not about dying, necessarily — because I really love being on this earth — I think about withering.

"I think about just dehydrating into a prune. I think I would just wither [without working]: In the fall, in the dark, in a cemetery, on a tree, the last leaf blowing."

Meanwhile, Henry previously acknowledged that "luck" has played a major role in his success.

The actor has enjoyed more than 50 years of success in Hollywood, and he previously shared some of the keys to his longevity.

Asked about the secrets to his success, Henry told People: "Luck, will, preparation.

"I thought to myself when I was younger, 'You better go to drama school and figure out what the fundamentals are so that no matter what happens when that door opens, you're prepared to walk through it.'"

Henry graduated from Emerson College in Boston in 1967 and he earned a master's degree from the Yale School of Drama in 1970.

The veteran actor returned to Emerson College in May, when he delivered a commencement address to the school's graduating class.

Asked what he planned to say to the students, Henry explained: "The major piece of advice is: your head knows some things, your stomach knows everything.
