Dame Judi Dench shared, “One day, a young woman asked me: ‘What do you think about being old?’ I thought aging was a gift. I wouldn’t change anything I have for a few less wrinkles and a flat stomach. Who cares if I choose to read or play on the computer until 4 in the morning and then sleep until who knows how much? Who cares if I dance alone listening to ’50s music? What if I later wanted to cry for a lost love? And if I walk on the beach in a bathing suit, letting my chubby body sink between the waves, swinging at them, despite those still wearing bikinis… they’ll be old too if they’re lucky. I’m proud that I lived long enough to have my hair turn gray and to keep the smile of my youth, since there were still no such deep marks on my face. I don’t want to complain about what wasn’t or worry about what will happen. For the time I have left, I will simply love life as I have done to this day.”
