The old Malay folk used to say, 'If you sing in the kitchen, you would marry an old lad.'

I tell that to my little sister numerous times. She was confounded because I sing in the kitchen all the time.

So I said, 'Well little sister, I would like to marry Johnny Depp, and he's older than our father.'

People say the words of the older folk don't count these days. They're just making threats for their own convenience, like if we sit on a pillow, warts would grow on our asses, but actually it's just a plot to scare children so their pillows wouldn't smell like sweaty buttocks. But I know deep in my heart, there could be some magic in those words. Maybe I do want to marry an older man.
