I don't know how to deal with being 80.

I'm still learning, you know. At 80, I feel there is a lot I don't know.

I really feel better about aging at the age of 86 than I did at 70.

It's hard to be scared when there are 80 people around you.

I think that age as a number is not nearly as important as health. You can be in poor health and be pretty miserable at 40 or 50. If you're in good health, you can enjoy things into your 80s.

I don't know why people are so obsessed with age anyway. I mean, 90 is the new 70; 70 is the new 50 and 50 is the new 40; so the whole act-your-age thing? Only up to a point.

You know you must be doing something right if old people like you.

The advantage of being eighty years old is that one has had many people to love.

My grandmother lived with us for a short time while I was a child. Old people tend to be slightly more eccentric - they can behave the way they want.
