It`s terrible. Every six weeks it`s Christmas. In Catch-22 (1970), the hero says, "Time is going by so fast, I have to make my life more boring." That`s what I`ve got to do, because my life is so interesting and I enjoy myself so much, I`ve got to make it more tedious, because I`ll be 100 in a minute. My mother died when she was 90, so I`ve got just under 20 years left. The terrible thing is that in obituaries, you read, "He died at 74, he had a good life." You think, "Bloody hell, I`ve only got 18 months to go". And another strange thing about aging - as you get older, it gets faster, and you see people you haven`t seen in what you think is five years, but it turns out to be 25 years. You say, "I made that film ten years ago," and they correct me: "Thirty, Michael. Thirty".

- Patrick MooreI have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure.
- Clarence DarrowLike everyone else who makes the mistake of getting older, I begin each day with coffee and obituaries.
