I used to panic and get rattled when I was young, but as I've got older, I've started literally to live day to day. With age, you work out what matters.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There's no point living at my age with many ingrained great fears.
The biggest thing as I have gotten older is the calmness that's come over me.
I do think about aging. I have those moments of panic and vanity, but life keeps getting better, so you can't worry about it too much.
Age gives you a great sense of proportion. You can be very hard on yourself when you're younger but now I just think 'well everybody's absolutely mad and I'm doing quite well'.
When I was 26, 27 years old I was running a kitchen in New York, and I was a raving lunatic. The older you get, you figure out you don't need to do that. You realize at a certain point, there's a certain gravity to what you say and what you do. If that's not enough, all the yelling in the world is not going to matter.
I tend to stay with the panic. I embrace the panic.
As you get older you learn some balance and mediation in your life - that's where I am right now. I feel pretty comfortable about things.
The older you get, the more yourself you can be and the less worried you are about what other people think.
Why is it that when we get older, we get more fearful?
I am at that age when you panic at the slightest thing.
