Old age isn't so bad when you consider the alternative.

Ageing is inevitable, and the idea that we can be eternally youthful is the pitfall of our society.

I think there are two aspects to ageing: there's the physical side and what's happening inside.

I'm really a strong advocate of ageing because the messages that the media and advertising give to women infuriate me: ie that it's a bad thing to get old.

Ageing's a difficult thing, moving closer to death, but it's okay. I've had a good time living, so I'm gonna have a good time dying.

To me, growing old is great. It's the very best thing - considering the alternative.

I will admit I am quite obsessive about the world of anti-ageing.

Obviously, we live in a society where ageing is feared. But, to me, the alternative to getting old isn't that great. I've got friends much older than me and much younger, and I love that. It means you get to teach as well as learn.

Age is inevitable. Aging isn't.
