It is very important that we all make sure everyone has enough. That is my feeling.”

“I have a feeling it’s going to end. How it ends, I have no idea. But until it’s over, I’ll be very, very lucky,” Winkler continued. In the meantime, he remains busy and finds his 39th children’s book and autobiography coming out soon. Being Henry: The Fonz. . . and beyondto be released on October 31st.
