       CARA DELEVINGNE:  Happy belated birthday! You recently turned the ripe old age of 22. How old do you really feel? KENDALL JENNER:  It fluctuates. Sometimes I feel like a complete kid when I’m running around with my friends being stupid for a week, and then sometimes I just want to sit in my house and sip tea and watch old movies like I’m 60. CD:  Sounds about right. Every time we’re together we’re either rolling around making bird noises or sitting on the porch in rocking chairs talking about the young people these days. Do you feel like an accomplished 22-year-old? KJ:  I feel like the life I live is extraordinary in a lot of ways but that it also comes with a lot of responsibilities. I’ve had to grow up pretty fast and deal with situations most 22-year-olds aren’t really put into. There are days and weeks and months when you just don’t stop. CD:  The pressure can be crushing sometimes. KJ:  It can! And you know me and how OCD I can get over the littlest things.
