I just find it completely magical and unbelievable.” She added, expanding on the topic: “I never thought I’d be 79. I’m not full of youth, but I am full of life.
I much prefer that phrase… And I feel so grateful that I lived in a world without technology for quite some time. I knew a world without technology in a deep and full sense… Human connection was a very different thing back then.”This isn’t the first time Mirren has spoken about Cobain missing out on other technological advancements.
