With young people, there's often that carelessness, allowing yourself to get into danger - recklessness, I suppose.

One of the things that goes with getting older is that one becomes more conservative - and I emphasise that when I use the word conservative I do not mean politically.

I didn't know I was a conservative when it didn't matter to me growing up.

Recklessness is par for the course when you're 25.

Just as I got older, I think I've become more and more conservative.

I've always been conservative. I was born that way.

I grew up conservative because my mum was a conservative, and when I finally realized what conservatives were, I changed my mind immediately.

We'll need to revise the tired assumption that people automatically become more conservative as they grow older.
