Betty Shoemaker
I’ve never been traditional in the way I live. I’ve always been sort of on the edge, in a certain sense of the word. So when people say ‘Oh yeah, I know how you must feel …’, I tell them ‘you know what it was like to be 30, ‘cause you’ve been 30 before. But you don’t know what it’s like to be 82.’
