I think it's astonishing how people just want to live long lives now. For what? We're all just getting more and more depressed by the second. I don't think, Well, my thirties were depressing, my forties were depressing, my fifties are going to be great....Everyone I know is obsessed with living forever. They don't eat anything, they don't drink anything, they don't smoke, and they spend twenty-four hours a day exercising so that they can preside over this hideous disintegration of everything. I'm not happy to be in my forties compared to how I felt when I was twenty-one, but I'm happy to be in my forties as opposed to, say, ten or eleven.
