"I'd just get bored at life otherwise. When you get old you can't go here, you can't do this, you can't drive, you can't see. I can't see very well, and I get a bit frustrated. So I want to do the things that I can do."

“如果不去挑战，我可能就要对生活感到厌倦了。人老了以后，这也不能去，那也不能做，开不了车，也看不清东西。我现在的视力就大不如前，这让我有点沮丧。所以我想去做那些自己还能做到的事情。”

Last year, she had a stroke which still affects her speech, but she says that otherwise her health is good.
