“I find the whole disdain for ageing crazy.” — Laura Linney Quote

“I find the whole disdain for ageing crazy.”

“What people can survive and what they don't survive is shocking to me. Someone can go to Iraq and be blown to bits and survive. Someone can trip and fall on the street and they die - that's that.”

“I don't think I'm exactly gregarious, you know. I'm not usually known as the loud person in the room.”

“I love that ageing rocker look, dressed in black and looking like you slept in your make-up.”

“Ageing is something to celebrate. If you can avoid long-term debilitating injury and illness, it's something you have to embrace because the other choice is being dead. So embrace it, grow with it. And that's what I try and do.”

“There's no such thing as ageing gracefully. I don't meet people who want to get Alzheimer's disease, or who want to get cancer or arthritis or any of the other things that afflict the elderly. Ageing is bad for you, and we better just actually accept that.”
