Maya Angelou was interviewed on TV on her 70 birthday by Oprah. When Oprah asked her what she thought of growing older, she said that it was exciting, and there were many changes occurring every day … like her breasts which seemed to be in a race to see which will reach her waist first. The audience laughed so hard.
