Billy Zane Quotes

I'm definitely a lot more comfortable now in my 40s than in my 30s - that's for sure.

I feel like 35. At 35 you're old enough to know something and young enough to look forward to what you can do with the knowledge. So I stayed at 35!

If you've never been 40, you don't understand how it feels.

The feelings we all have as 50-year-olds are different than the feelings we all have as 30-year-olds. That informs everything we do.

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'.

Life is not quantifiable in terms of age, but I suppose in my fifties I am more grounded and more at ease in my own skin than when I was younger. I have a confidence that I didn't have before from the experiences I've had.

Self-acceptance has been a blessed by-product of middle age.

I am too old to think.

Whether it's 18 years old or 40 years old, we think we know what's going on. But if you're lucky enough to continue the journey, its amazing how we keep learning how much we didn't know.

A few years ago, I got to a point where I realised that the only way you can tell someone's age is how they live their life. The candles on the cake mean absolutely nothing.

Turning 50 is a little bit of a 'taking stock' moment. I feel probably a little dumber. I don't think I'm as sharp as I was when I was younger, but I'm definitely wiser and less likely to make gigantic blunders of an intellectual, spiritual, emotional or physical type.

Age shouldn't affect you. It's just like the size of your shoes - they don't determine how you live your life! You're either marvellous or you're boring, regardless of your age.

I don't mind my age.

One of the many things nobody ever tells you about middle age is that it's such a nice change from being young.

I think it's nice to age gracefully. OK, you lose the youth, a certain stamina and dewy glow, but what you gain on the inside as a human being is wonderful: the wisdom, the acceptance and the peace of mind. It's a fair exchange.

When I passed the age of 50, I learned how to control my emotions.

Of middle age the best that can be said is that a middle-aged person has likely learned how to have a little fun in spite of his troubles.

I don't have any issues with my age.

Along with age comes more confidence, so it kind of works out.

I remember when I was 33 or 34, it was devastating because I realized I wasn't a kid anymore. The great thing about 40 was that I really felt like I had life experience and knew what I was doing now.

The perceptions of middle age have their own luminosity.

Getting older has been a bonus for me. I feel lucky that parts are being written for someone my age and I am around to play them.

The advantage of age is that you swap youth for wisdom. You're so full of insecurities when you're young. 'Who am I? What do I have to do for people to like me?' You get caught up in things. You get very emotional about things.

At 67, you are what you are. I think it's too late to change much.

As you get older, you come to a place in life where you can't just live in the present.
