“You know, you get wrinkles and you get fat and you lose a kind of beauty — that is true,” she said. “But they never talk about the freedom that comes with that.”
“More than freedom, a lightness,” she added. “When you’re young, you have so many things to prove. And when you’re old, you’re not proving yourself anymore. I am who I am.”
