When a high-profile personality lives like I do, everybody thinks that person is fated to die young.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I am too old to die young, and too young to grow up.
There is a way that a younger person can accept the inevitable problem that they're going to die, whereas somebody a little bit older might be overcome.
I think because my parents died in their early 50s, mid 50s, I always thought I would die young. And that's been both a useful thing and I suspect something that's haunted me a little bit.
As you get older, subconsciously you start thinking about mortality and protecting your offspring. It opens up a whole new avenue of life experiences.
I feel about aging the way William Saroyan said he felt about death: Everybody has to do it, but I always believed an exception would be made in my case.
If you try to stay young forever, you don't really live.
We continue to shape our personality all our life. If we knew ourselves perfectly, we should die.
No one will die if they don't know how old I am.
Young people have a marvelous faculty of either dying or adapting themselves to circumstances.
You know how people say that young people feel immortal? I don't know what they're talking about. I was planning for how I would deal with my death in good conscience well before I even hit puberty.
