If I'd known I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself.

If I knew I was going to live this long, I'd have taken better care of myself.

I had assumed that I would age with all my friends growing old around me, dying off very gradually one by one. And here was a plague that cut them off so early.

Because of the life I've had, I'd grown up quicker than most people.

If they would have told me when I was just 18 that I was going to have a career that would last so long, I'd have said it was impossible, that it was crazy that that could happen in my life, so I'm happy to be here. To be able to go out on stage every day.

If I didn't do what I do, I wouldn't be as young as I am.

Sometimes I think it would be easier to avoid old age, to die young, but then you'd never complete your life, would you? You'd never wholly know you.

I didn't think I'd be around 30 years later.

I'd had to cope with a lot of death and illness in my family from a young age, and that maybe gave me a bleak outlook on the world.
