“I've always done things
at the wrong age. Being too young to do stuff seemed to go on forever until I
was about 42 and then suddenly I was too old. So I realised that age, and time
itself in fact, are a kind of fiction to which are attached stereotypes, caricatures,
all kinds of notions that we internalize about stages of life. Part of me
relishes being a renegade in that particular department.”—Director-screenwriter Sally
Potter, on releasing her debut album at age 73, quoted by Ludovic
Hunter-Tilney, “ ‘Part of Me Relishes Being a Renegade,’”
