If you explode onto the scene at a very young age there are so many people pulling you in different directions. It takes time to recalibrate and see what's important.
I really think we should pass a law in every state I don't care whether it takes the independence away from an old person or not. You shouldn't be driving a car if you're over the age of 80. Maybe even less than that.

It takes a long time to become young.
