Hello. 00:05
[Soft music] 00:07
[Interviewer]: We want to ask you one question... 00:09
[Interviewer]: If you could be any age, what age would you be? 00:12
Um... 00:17
That's a curveball. That's a pretty good question. Um.. 00:18
Hmm..I think... 00:21
Seventeen. 00:26
Twenty. 00:27
Sixteen! 00:28
Well, when I'm older I get to have a sweet 16 party. 00:30
I wanna...work on a computer! 00:33
You finally can drive, 00:36
And you get to go to every party you wanna visit! 00:38
Who doesn't want to be older when you're, you know, 12? 00:43
After you get over 18, after you get over 21, 00:46
you stop wishing you were older, 00:49
and start wishing you were perhaps a bit younger. 00:51
I would like to be... 00:55
...15 again. 00:58
16. 00:59
[Laughs] 01:00
Where my mom cooked for me every night... 01:01
Puberty was fun, 01:04
girls, and pimples, and dates...whew! 01:06
Not having to shave was great. 01:09
You were just kinda finding yourself, 01:11
but you didn't have to live in the real world by yourself yet. 01:13
7 years old. 01:16
Because like, you don't have anything to worry about. 01:17
Worst thing that happens is you have like 01:18
blisters on your hands. 01:20
The body isn't quite as resilient when you're 44 as it is when you're 24. 01:22
As of right now, obviously, there's still some things that 01:27
I wish I could have redone better, or done differently, so.. 01:29
You know... 01:33
I would mind going back to 2. 01:34
Let's just start it all over again and see what I can do with it. 01:36
[Interviewer]: We've been asking everyone the same question... 01:40
Okay... 01:43
[Interviewer]: If you could be any age, what age would you be? 01:44
You know that's..that's a difficult question, 01:51
only because... 01:55
I... 01:58
was... 02:00
in a hurry 02:02
to get through life. 02:04
Consequently, many of those years 02:07
are a blur. 02:12
We don't want to go through life having regrets. 02:14
And at least for me, you know, my regrets 02:18
were a result of not being in the moment. 02:22
[Interviewer]: Do you like being your age? 02:26
I love being 80! 02:28
[Laughs] 02:29
Even though may be considered the autumn of our years, 02:31
just think how beautiful autumn is! 02:37
I like to be 5 because I just started school. 02:41
I like the freedom that I have now, 02:45
I have a lot more freedom than I did before. 02:47
I've grown a lot. 02:49
Like I feel like I'm not dependent on like, 02:50
people for physical things. 02:52
Still have like, so many years to really figure yourself out. 02:53
There's an authority that comes to saying you're 25, 02:57
without sounding too old. 03:01
You can take chances when you're a little bit more 03:04
established in life, 03:06
than you can when you're, you know, in your 20s, 03:08
and even into your 30s. 03:10
One thing I've learned about life itself... 03:14
Take it in. 03:17
You're really not missing out on anything. 03:19
Embrace everything that you can about your life as it is today. 03:21

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...

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.
