"When people say, "you look great for your age. I can't believe your 60!" I'm like what about just, "you look great."
Ellen Barkin
Which is so true. Why define beauty by age? I am sure it is meant as a compliment but it is also a quantified beauty. Sort of a, I know you are 60, but despite being 60, you still look amazing! And so as I grow older, I don't want to hear, I thought you were so much younger, which I actually hear fairly often, I just want to hear, you look great!
