"I don’t have all the answers to old age. In fact, I rarely think about it"."

"Loneliness is the scourge of old age, which means there has never been a better time to enjoy those water-cooler moments"."

"I have never consciously chosen to keep on working, for example, even though I’m the proud owner of a Freedom Pass (and I will never, ever vote for any political party that takes it away!)".#"

"I’m running in the last lap of life. But instead of relegating myself to deterioration, I try to regard myself as simply fraying at the edges"."

"When you have 50 per cent of women filling the top jobs, it becomes just uninteresting. Now, a few stand out – a few run companies, a few are famous. People have a go at them."

"There’s no right way of doing it. Nobody looks at blokes in boring suits and criticises them"."
