That's Not My Age may not have seen Avatar - 3D animation is not really my thing and anyone with Cameron for a surname is not very popular in our household - but I have been to an IMAX cinema. A couple of years ago, Mr TNMA (a massive Rolling Stones fan) bought tickets to Martin Scorsese's Shine a Light, but at three rows back we were so close to the rock 'n' roll action I felt quite nauseous and had to close my eyes. The Blog Widower was not impressed. Particularly as I'd already handed back my complimentary t-shirt saying, 'Give it to someone who might wear it.'
Anyway, this week's quote is from Sigourney Weaver, 60, who plays scientist, Grace Augustine (Avatar has just been released on DVD and Blu-ray) - and no, it's not about the size of James Cameron's breasts.
'I like getting older - it's interesting. I don't think it's attractive to have a taut face with a 65-year-old's body. I find that look scary. My mother was a great beauty and never succumbed to plastic surgery. She thought it was best to grow old gracefully. I feel the same. We change ourselves by looking back and trying to stay young instead of moving forward.'
And while we're on the subject of growing old gracefully, with Exile on Main Street about to be reissued, Keith Richards, 66, talks to Rolling Stone magazine about touring, 'I don’t know how the rest of them feel about roadwork at the moment. Maybe we’ll search for a different way for the Stones to go back on the road. Maybe not the football stadiums anymore. Maybe something different. You can’t go around there in lemon yellow tights forever.'

Sigourney Weaver is going to be a beautiful woman right up until she pops her clogs.
Great bones *sigh*

What a balanced and healthy outlook! Doesn't hurt that she's also a natural beauty. ;-)
I'm with you on the 3-D, the motion simulators and the like. Give me a headache. Someone once told me that it's because I have astigmatism, who knows?
Yes 3-D is not a good move I'm with Dr Kermode on this fad plus laughed a lot about the name Cameron!
I agree with what Sigourney says but I'm sure she has lots of facials etc. to assist the graceful process.
She is lovely and the aging process is interesting. I'm trying very, very hard to find the interest in the new configuration of eyebags and broken veins.
And yes, with you on the 3-D Avatar thing. It's just another fighty cartoon at the end of the day, no?
"We change ourselves by looking back and trying to stay young instead of moving forward." Interesting perspective and very true. I don't know whether I want to "go back" as I prefer my look in my 50s to, say, my 30s...but I see no harm in wanting to stay put! It just means I am happy where I am now, and that's a good place to be.
I still haven't seen Avatar. Maybe next week...
AC & DP - oh yes, natural beauty, great bones and shed loads of money all help!
MDS, DP & EA - think we've summed Avatar up nicely: a fighty cartoon that'll give you a headache. And who wants to wear those silly glasses anyway?
R - I like the idea of trying to stay put, though I'd like to stay put somewhere in my mid-thirties before the wrinkles and the sun damage kicked in!
I love avatar. Good bones, good genes thats helps in the process of growing old gracefully. or not giving a dam about what others think
so Good^^!!......................................................................
Sigourney is a beautiful woman with a refreshing attitude. It must be so hard to resist the temptation of going with the flow and big respect to her for sticking to her guns.
Avatar - I'm glad I'm not alone in not being in the teeniest bit interested.

She is such a natural beauty - love the quote and Keith's Lemon Tights one too! And I don't fancy watching Avatar I am afraid - not really into 3D either. x
Hi there-yes growing older gracefully is so much more natural and refreshing, having money does not defy ageing, LOL!
SR - it does if you're Madonna!
Sigourney Weaver is so beautiful... and speaks many a true word here. Am with you on the 3-D thing - just not necessary for enjoyment! x
