When I grow up I want to be an old lady--older than what I am now. Much older! You know what that's saying? That's saying, "Hey, I want to live!" 'Cause you have to live to get old. Did you get that? Are you sure? I'm shooting for my mother's age--92. See, I'm 72 now, so I've got 20 more years to go.
