John Cameron Mitchell Quotes

The older I get, the better I feel.

I love being in my 40s.

I'm far more comfortable in my 40s than I ever was.

I would say I'm quite happy in my life the majority of the time. Earlier in my life I was more questioning, overly trying to figure things out. I like this way much better.

I have come a long way and learnt a lot. I read this quote about a year ago: 'Happiness must not be pursued; it must ensue.' It's made me realise that just being married again or something like that won't make me happy; the happiness ensues from how we live our lives.

My life is better with every year of living it.

I have no regrets in my life whatsoever.

I feel the older I get, the more I'm learning to handle life. Being on this quest for a long time, it's all about finding yourself.

If I was to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing.

I spent my 30s figuring out how to be a grown up, I guess. I loved my 30s! My 30s were really about being happy with what I was doing.

I've been a much happier person in my early thirties than I was in my twenties.

The ultimate goal is to be more satisfied. I really don't believe you get wiser because you get older. It's a choice, perhaps not to take some things so seriously.

I appreciate and enjoy my age.

When I was in my 20s, I don't think I knew what happiness was. Now, it's about getting to a place in your life when you're confident in the person you are. It took me a long time to get there.

I have had fun being who I became, so to speak.

I think there are things that you look for when you're younger, and you think they are going to make you happier or make you feel complete. That's not going to happen, and it's really about living the moments. Eventually, you reach a point when you're at ease with your life and don't have any unrealistic expectations.

The man with insight enough to admit his limitations comes nearest to perfection.

It's a little silly to finally learn how to write at this age. But I long ago realized I was secretly sincere.

This age thing is all up to you. It's like happiness is up to you. You just have to understand what it is before you get it.

When I think of what has happened in a larger sense, beyond myself, then I would not change anything.

Neither man nor woman can be worth anything until they have discovered that they are fools.

I believe happiness is a chemical imbalance - it's a silly thing to strife for. But satisfaction - if you seek satisfaction, you can succeed. Satisfaction is knowing that you're doing the best that you can do; you're living your life to the fullest.

I love aging. Why would I want to be 21 for the rest of my life?

You can run, run, run away from a lot of things in life, but you can't run away from yourself. And the key to happiness is to understand and accept who you are.

Luckily, I'm not one of those people who wants to be young; it's never bothered me.
