June Squibb, 96, says she always feels 35

""I always feel I'm 35. I don't know what I felt when I was younger than 35, but as I got older, I kept referring back to 35,""

""I think it's because I remember my mother at 35. There was something very grand about her at 35, which I did not always find as she got older or even younger than that. But somehow, my mother at 35 was great,""

""They know they're not going to get it. So, they don't. They don't ask that at all from me in any way,""

""I can remember being worried about things, and again, it passed, and I hope that's what happens with us now. It too will pass," she said. "I've seen a lot pass, let's just say this.""

June Squibb, 96, feels 35 years old on the inside and links that age to how she remembers her mother at 35. She resists being defined by chronological age and does not expect to provide conventional wisdom to younger people. She does not focus on others' ages when forming relationships. She views longevity as offering perspective, noting that many worries have passed over time. Her fitness routine includes weekly Pilates and regular walks. She aims to continue staying active and hopes to reach 100 years old.
