Most of your life after puberty, you're either seeking to reproduce or living with the consequences of having done so. At 70, you start going back to being 11 again.

I usually say I left puberty at 58.
Puberty extends into your twenties, for sure, and some people don't get over that until much later in life. I feel like I'm just starting to get over puberty - basically twenty years of insufferable, totally self-obsessed hell.
Puberty is an extremely traumatic process even if you don't realize it. It kind of lives with you for like 10 years.
Age is a chronological number. That's all. There is plenty of time for my life afterwards. I'm still a young woman.
Even when I was a child, I always wanted to be older. I realised just in time that it's a mistake and to enjoy my youth while I had it.
After 40, you want to reverse the ageing process. That's complicated for me because I spent so many years wanting to be older.
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.
I didn't hit puberty until I was, like, 17, so I love to talk about that.
I always wanted to live to about 70. I thought that'd be a good age.
What is it to be normal, at 12, at 78? What is it like when you can't grow up?
