And I don't know if you call that wisdom, but I feel like I've learned something.

A hundred percent.

You know, and why would you, why would you run away from that?

You know, like it's changed my relationship with young women too.

Like I look at young women now and I, and I just think, oh,

You need to see me having a good time.

You need to know that it goes like this, not like this, you know, and that you shouldn't be frightened of ageing, you know?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's absolutely, that's absolutely.

And that's the best way.

for you to have a good time now, but it's also a spectacularly great message to send to younger women.

It's really struck me this year, more than any other year, looking at women who are trying desperately to pretend not to be the age they are.

And it just seems...

It's just so counterproductive on every level.

I mean, apart from the fact that if you fight ageing and the impending death, you'll lose.

It is if you come at it from that place.

I mean, I've always felt like I've probably been quite lucky because I...

came out of drama school and I always considered myself to be a character actor, you know?

So at the age of 21, I was putting lots of makeup on to make myself look 65.

And I was always playing the goofy friend or the, you know, I was always playing the off center character, like not the juvenile lead, not the Juliet, not that.
