Age is the single largest risk factor for an enormous number of diseases. So if you can essentially postpone aging, then you can have beneficial effects on a whole wide range of disease.

The way that we are going after ageing, I think, is a problem. The modern medical model is basically designed to attack one disease at a time. Independent of all other diseases and independent of the basic process of ageing itself.

We know that so many of the conditions and diseases that we associate with ageing can often be prevented or in fact their onset delayed if we just took preventative steps earlier in our lives.

I think science has begun to demonstrate that aging is a disease. If it is, it can be cured.

For healthy adult people, the really big thing we can foresee are ways of intervening in the ageing process, either by slowing or reversing it.

The key to the future in an aging society is not found in increasing just our life span; we need to increase our health span at the same time.

We will 'de-age' progressively, as cures are developed.

Ageing is inevitable, and the idea that we can be eternally youthful is the pitfall of our society.

Old age is not a disease - it is strength and survivorship, triumph over all kinds of vicissitudes and disappointments, trials and illnesses.

Age is inevitable. Aging isn't.
