One of the good things about getting older is that when you come to a standstill, you say to yourself either "I'll stay here" or "I have to change something." I've needed to shake things up - and did. I get so much from work, and I continually try to improve.
There are any number of things I could do. I might not be able to continue acting at some point, but then I can write or produce. I'll never say, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is my last performance." Maybe my last for that day, sure, but not my last "last." Lily: Everything I've experienced has gone into my material. As I got closer to that age, I thought, "Gee, I never thought this day would come." But you know what? I'm 75, and it's not bad. Lily: In my 30s, I started doing a character named Sister Boogie Woman, who was 77. Research suggests that older people feel happier and less hostile, and that life gets easier. But for most people, life is more of an upward evolution. Jane: I hope with our new series, Grace and Frankie, we dispel the traditional view of aging: You're born, you peak at midlife, then you decline into age.
