I dont look my age, I dont feel my age and I dont act my age. To me age is just a number.
One of the main secrets to staying young is staying healthy. Ive sometimes had to suppress a smile when some young lady, who has obviously not taken care of herself through diet or exercise, says admiringly, Ooh, I hope I look as good as you do when Im your age! Although its intended to be complimentary, its actually a back-hander.
Age is just a number. Its totally irrelevant unless, of course, you happen to be a bottle of wine.
Every time an article is written about me or any of my contemporaries whos had the fortune and discipline to look good at a certain age, I am struck by the tone of astonishment, and the certainty that something is being done secretively to beat the devil.
However much some journalists may criticize me, I know that I look, feel, and behave several decades younger than my actual age, and much of that is because I believe you are what you think you are. This is called positive affirmation, and its a really strong tool.
I dont know why people are so obsessed with age anyway. I mean, 90 is the new 70; 70 is the new 50 and 50 is the new 40; so the whole act-your-age thing? Only up to a point.
The problem with beauty is that its like being born rich and getting poorer.
