I think a child should be allowed to take his father's or mother's name at will on coming of age. Paternity is a legal fiction.

Age gives you a great sense of proportion. You can be very hard on yourself when you're younger but now I just think 'well everybody's absolutely mad and I'm doing quite well'.

I think it's pretty crazy to say you've been typecast at the age of 20 before you've even really started getting going.

I think I don't regret a single 'excess' of my responsive youth - I only regret in my chilled age certain occasions and possibilities I didn't embrace.

I was taught from a young age that I had to serve so that turned into me thinking I had to save the planet.

I think love can happen at any age... it has no age.

You know what makes me feel old? When I see girls who are 20-something or the new crop of actresses and think Aren't we kind of the same age?

Well I'm in my 60s now. I finally look it I think. People until I was 60 would always say they thought I looked younger which I think without flattering myself I did but I think I certainly have as George Orwell says people do after a certain age the face they deserve.

In fact my courage and my bravery at a young age was the thing I was bullied for a kind of 'Who do you think you are?'

I think the sport of wrestling which I became involved with at the age of 14... I competed until I was 34 kind of old for a contact sport. I coached the sport until I was 47. I think the discipline of wrestling has given me the discipline I have to write.

I think that a man should not live beyond the age when he begins to deteriorate when the flame that lighted the brightest moment of his life has weakened.

I think age is a very high price to pay for maturity.

It is folly for an eminent man to think of escaping censure and a weakness to be affected with it. All the illustrious persons of antiquity and indeed of every age in the world have passed through this fiery persecution.

It is unthinkable for a Frenchman to arrive at middle age without having syphilis and the Cross of the Legion of Honor.

Youth cannot know how age thinks and feels. But old men are guilty if they forget what it was to be young.

Canada has a passive-aggressive culture with a lot of sarcasm and righteousness. That went with my weird messianic complex. The ego is a fascinating monster. I was taught from a young age that I had to serve so that turned into me thinking I had to save the planet.

I think we ought to raise the age at which juveniles can have a gun.

Few women I fear have had such reason as I have to think the long sad years of youth were worth living for the sake of middle age.

I think women should start to embrace their age. What's the alternative to getting older? You die. I can't change the day I was born. But I can take care of my skin my body my mind and try to live my life and be happy.

I think the biggest disease the world suffers from in this day and age is the disease of people feeling unloved. I know that I can give love for a minute for half an hour for a day for a month but I can give. I am very happy to do that I want to do that.

I think being able to age gracefully is a very important talent. It is too late for me.

I don't think of myself as a poor deprived ghetto girl who made good. I think of myself as somebody who from an early age knew I was responsible for myself and I had to make good.

Sometimes I think it would be easier to avoid old age to die young but then you'd never complete your life would you? You'd never wholly know you.
