När jag blir gammal...

...kan jag bara önska att jag tänker och känner så som Iris Apfel - känna att man fortfarande kan vara sig själv. 

“Getting older ain’t for sissies, I’ll tell you. It’s very funny. I have a dear friend whose mother’s gone, but she was very funny. When I’d say ‘Yuda, how do you feel?’ she’d say, ‘Oh—when I get up in the morning, everything I have two of, one hurts’. You have to push yourself when you’re older, because it’s very easy to fall into the trap. You start to fall apart—you just have to do your best to paste yourself together. I think doing things and being active is very important. When your mind is busy, you don’t hurt so much. Thank God I love to do things. I feel blessed that I have all these opportunities at this stage in my life. I was always very busy with all kinds of stuff, and I’m very used to it—but at ninety, I have all these new careers—a makeup collection with MAC, working on glasses for Eye-Bobs, I’m on Home Shopping and on YOOX, and I do a big program with the fashion school at the University of Texas at Austin—they made me a professor."

Intervju från Into The Gloss

Iris Apfel är 90 år (!) och lever fortfarande sitt drömliv.

Som hon säger: Getting old ain´t for sissies!

Var alltid dig själv, oavsett ålder och vad folk runtomkring tycker och tänker - man mår så mycket bättre!
