Dylan Thomas Quotes

You get to a certain point in your life where you get closer to the end of your life than the beginning, and it colors your life, in a way.

I'm always looking for something. Not in an unhappy way. I just like to try different things. I don't want to be morbid, but I'm not getting any younger.

I've gotten to travel all over the world and meet all kinds of people and do all kinds of great things, so it's, like, surreal. It just lets you know how time flies, especially when you're having fun. It seems like time keeps going by faster as I get older.

The hour-hand of life.

I feel like a spinning top or a DreidelThe spinning don't stop when you leave the cradleYou just slow downRound and around this world you goSpinning through the lives of the people you knowWe all slow down.

There are 30,000 days in your life. When I was 24, I realized I’m almost 9,000 days down. There are no warm-ups, no practice rounds, no reset buttons. Your biggest risk isn’t failing, it’s getting too comfortable. Every day we’re writing a few more words of a story. I wanted my story to be an adventure and that’s made all the difference. Instead of trying to make your life perfect, give yourself the freedom to make it an adventure, and go ever upward.

Life is the ultimate adventure, and Death, the prize that awaits us all.

A year ago, I turned the final page of The Book of the Dead. I don't feel young any more.

A true journey, no matter how long the travel takes, has no end.

For now it seems that by advancing into unknown territories, I entered into my life

Life moves out of a red flare of dreams Into a common light of common hours, Until old age brings the red flare again.

To travel is the experience of ceasing to be the person you are trying to be, and becoming the person you really are.

It is a long baptism into the seas of humankind, my daughter. Better immersion than to live untouched.

Time and tide will wait for no man, saith the adage. But all men have to wait for time and tide.

But man grows old, lies down, remains where once he's laid.

As I saw my 60th birthday approaching, I thought,What did 60 mean to me? I figured I'd probably live until I'm about 90, which meant that I was at the beginning of what I call my third act. As an actress, I know how important the third act is. It makes sense of the first and second acts. You can have first and second acts that are interesting, but you don't know what they mean. Then a good third act pulls it all together. And so I knew that, because I sat by my father's side over the long months when he was dying.

It's not the beginning or the destination that counts. It's the ride in between.

There is no place in which to hide when Age comes seeking for his bride.

I am about life. I surround myself with beautiful things. I work hard to have a better life. This job helps me achieve that through the people I meet. I'm lucky - not to have been a cover girl - but to have been able to meet all these people, to live these adventures and travel so comfortably. But despite that, it's still difficult. Nothing comes easily. Everything I've earned is down to me, and no one else.

I could never have dreamed the life I lead. Given where I started, it's remarkable to me the constant adventure that my life has become.

Nobody was perfect. Not even close. And everybody had wrinkles from smiling and squinting and craining their necks. Everybody has marks on their bodies from years of living- a trail of life left on them. Evidence of all the adventures and sleepless nights and practical jokes and heartbreaks that had made them who they are.

The understanding that we reach a point where we stop becoming something and start ending as something. That comes at different times in different points in different people's lives, and obviously there are lots of people who experience the presence of death much more keenly and much earlier than I did. But we all come to grips with it eventually.
