working on borrowed time
At 58, Lin is still choreographing. He is fond of saying that he is "working on borrowed time." But if the advances of the past decade provided any indication, his best work is yet to come.
Hi,
For a start, why is it "working on borrowed time" rather than "working with ...?"
Second, what does the bolded part refer to? Thanks.
