“No one young enough to be in school is aware that they will lose their looks, OK? This is something that doesn’t happen until you do. Because if I see someone that I haven’t seen in a long time, I think, ‘What the hell happened to you?!’ And I realize that they’re thinking the same thing about me! Right? And the only reason I don’t think that about me is that I see myself every day. Although as briefly as possible.”
