- No, no, let me see. Because I'm 50 in December. So everyone keeps going, you've got a big birthday coming up. I've got a whole year being 49.

JOELY RICHARDSON: I know. So enjoy 49. And what I say about 50 is 50 is like a thing to get your head round. But the minute you're over that day, you'll settle into it. And you'll realize you're free. That's what the last third, I call it, of my life. It's about being free.

- Being free.

JOELY RICHARDSON: Yeah. No, less worried about what people think of you, what should I be doing, what is success. You just get to be you.
