  • Hello.

  • [Soft music]

  • [Interviewer]: We want to ask you one question...

  • [Interviewer]: If you could be any age, what age would you be?

  • Um...

  • That's a curveball. That's a pretty good question. Um..

  • Hmm..I think...

  • Seventeen.

  • Twenty.

  • Sixteen!

  • Well, when I'm older I get to have a sweet 16 party.

  • I wanna...work on a computer!

  • You finally can drive,

  • And you get to go to every party you wanna visit!

  • Who doesn't want to be older when you're, you know, 12?

  • After you get over 18, after you get over 21,

  • you stop wishing you were older,

  • and start wishing you were perhaps a bit younger.

  • I would like to be...

  • ...15 again.

  • 16.

  • [Laughs]

  • Where my mom cooked for me every night...

  • Puberty was fun,

  • girls, and pimples, and dates...whew!

  • Not having to shave was great.

  • You were just kinda finding yourself,

  • but you didn't have to live in the real world by yourself yet.

  • 7 years old.

  • Because like, you don't have anything to worry about.

  • Worst thing that happens is you have like

  • blisters on your hands.

  • The body isn't quite as resilient when you're 44 as it is when you're 24.

  • As of right now, obviously, there's still some things that

  • I wish I could have redone better, or done differently, so..

  • You know...

  • I would mind going back to 2.

  • Let's just start it all over again and see what I can do with it.

  • [Interviewer]: We've been asking everyone the same question...

  • Okay...

  • [Interviewer]: If you could be any age, what age would you be?

  • You know that's..that's a difficult question,

  • only because...

  • I...

  • was...

  • in a hurry

  • to get through life.

  • Consequently, many of those years

  • are a blur.

  • We don't want to go through life having regrets.

  • And at least for me, you know, my regrets

  • were a result of not being in the moment.

  • [Interviewer]: Do you like being your age?

  • I love being 80!

  • [Laughs]

  • Even though may be considered the autumn of our years,

  • just think how beautiful autumn is!

  • I like to be 5 because I just started school.

  • I like the freedom that I have now,

  • I have a lot more freedom than I did before.

  • I've grown a lot.

  • Like I feel like I'm not dependent on like,

  • people for physical things.

  • Still have like, so many years to really figure yourself out.

  • There's an authority that comes to saying you're 25,

  • without sounding too old.

  • You can take chances when you're a little bit more

  • established in life,

  • than you can when you're, you know, in your 20s,

  • and even into your 30s.

  • One thing I've learned about life itself...

  • Take it in.

  • You're really not missing out on anything.

  • Embrace everything that you can about your life as it is today.

Hello.
