– Is the matter of old age on your mind at all?
\n[Nah, I’m not even sure when old age really starts, and I’ll be working until I’m at least fifty, and I want a fun lifestyle after that. You can still have fun after fifty. Yeah, I’d like to try a luxury cruise around the world.]<\/p>\n
– Have you ever thought about the age at which you’d want to die, if it were possible to choose?
\n[Nah, I want to live a long life. I want to live long, but if I caught a disease, then I’d want to die before I had to suffer.]<\/p>\n
– Die of old age? That would be ideal, wouldn’t it.
\n[Mmhmm. Or die while having sex…… I’m kidding! (laughs)]<\/p>\n
– Ahahahaha, that would be cool in it’s own way. But, can you even imagine yourself at age fifty?
\n[Hmmmm, I don’t think I’ll change too much. My appearance probably will change, though.]<\/p>\n
– You aren’t anxious about ageing at all? Wondering if “you’ve become all you could be”?
\n[Nah, everyone’s a little anxious about what’s coming up as they get older, right? So, you have to think about it. No, even though I said I don’t think about it, I really do, of course. There are lots of things that would be good to simulate. Yeah…… In my case, anyway.]<\/p>\n
