I had never been attracted to younger guys. I had, from my late teens, always liked men who were older than me.

Being young isn't about age, it's about being a free spirit. You can meet someone of 20 who's boring and old, or you can meet someone of 70 who's youthful and exciting. I met Fred Astaire when he was 72 and I was 21, and I fell in love with him. He certainly was a free spirit.

There were nineteen years between my grandparents, and I was in a relationship for five years from the age of fifteen to twenty with a man who was thirteen years older than me who remains one of the loves of my life, and he passed away when I was twenty years old.

I was in relationship with a guy who was much older than me - either he was past his prime and I was coming into mine. There was nothing I could do to keep his attention.

I was a shy kid, a late bloomer. At 22, I was probably 16 emotionally.

When my father died, I was 21, and he'd been sick for a few years. He changed during his illness. He kind of softened during it.

I was 22 years old when I met Robert Johnson. I was there the night he was poisoned.
