We're still living with the old paradigm of age as an arch. That's the old metaphor: You're born, you peak at midlife and decline into decrepitude.

Women are not forgiven for aging. Robert Redford's lines of distinction are my old-age wrinkles.

I have people in my life who will say, 'Honey, you're trying too hard.' I like being saucy, but I'm 73 and a half. I'm still trying to find my way between matronly and coltishness.

The most important thing to do as you age is to stay physically active. Lots of people just throw in the towel if they can't do what they used to do, and that's terrible.

It is amazing I was able to have them at my age and it's another incredible blessing that they are healthy. They have made my life complete.

It's wonderful to me that bees have this simple, age-old thing going on.
