I don t fear anything, not related to myself,

I fear maybe having a teenager, (laughs)

cause I was one of those kinds of teenagers

that gave my mom a really hard time.

(rock music)

My name is Anne Doubilet,

and I am an underwater photographer, writer, and explorer.

I just turned 61,

and I m very happy to be that age.

[Photographer] Let s take the black piece off

and put the whole suit on.

We re shooting here today in Montauk,

it s the first time that I have met Annie Leibovitz,

and she was shooting a shooter.

I love being able to watch her every move.

She really puts people right at ease.

(upbeat music)

I m Ana Ivanovic, and I m 21 years old.

I m from Belgrade, Serbia.

I started playing tennis at age of five,

and I fall in love with the game first time

I stepped on a course.

I went back to school,

I started last year at Columbia

to get my masters in public health.

It all goes by really quickly,

I can t believe how long ago it was even

when I started in this first career of mine,

which was modeling.

I think it s the best age to be at 20 s,

and I feel really blessed to be doing what I love

at such a young age.

There where times like being a teenager

where I just wanted to be a grownup so badly,

and there s nothing,

you know it s nice to be a teenager too.

I don t have any fears about getting older,

I really try to make most of every day.

I learn how to enjoy the moment much more,

and I feel much more happier actually.

I think that it s important to kind of progress,

and to evolve, and to not look back,

and to stay as present as you can

in each of those different stages.

Anne, a little more this way.

I got great body, great.

If I were to look back at my 20 year old self,

I would probably have to say don t have any fear,

because fear holds you back,

and moving forward slowly, and patiently, and gracefully,

and actually never taking no for an answer.
