The years between fifty and seventy are the hardest. You are always being asked to do things, and yet you are not decrepit enough to turn them down.
Turning 30 was when my parents both got cancer and were fighting it and beat it, but their mortality started to get to me. Everything wasn't as hunky-dory like it was.
Hitler was so modern, in that he was obsessed with being famous. He was caught up with this rush to be have achieved greatness before turning 30.
When I first got pregnant, I freaked out. Then I had to remind myself: I'm turning 30
Turning 30 was really big for me. I can get really stuck on 'I don't like this or that about myself.'
