LeAnn Rimes Quotes

When I was 14, I was the oldest I ever was. I've been getting younger ever since.

You get older and you see yourself and say, 'God, he's old, who's that?'

You picture yourself as being 22 always, and so it's very bizarre when you're not.

When I see friends from school I think they've all grown old and I've stayed the same.

I've always looked old for my age.

As I've gotten older I look like a man, finally.

It's interesting when you're in your thirties and you're not the same pretty boy that you were when you were 21. I think people's anger at themselves getting older is projected on to you because you become a symbol of that.

Some people still see me as a kid, but I'm a 23-year-old woman now.

I was 24 yesterday. Suddenly you wake up, and you get on the elevator, and there's a mirror there. And you look in the mirror, and you're an old man.

Although I've watched myself making the transition from being a girl to being a woman, I still feel 15 years old. My reflection disagrees.

I'm no longer the young woman I was playing before, and I'm in a profession where that continuum that is me is irrelevant to most people - they're meeting me for the first time, seeing me for the first time, and they're seeing an old woman, so that's what I've got to start being.

I still feel like a girl. I don't quite feel like a woman. I'll probably be 90 and feel like, 'Not a woman yet!'

When I was 19, 20, 21, I wasn't extremely thick.

I've gone through several cycles. When I was little, I was the cute kid with missing teeth and funny one-liners. Then I moved on to be the young guy who wanted to be a grownup.

What I do now defines who I am as a woman and how people see me; they don't see me as a little girl.

I am now at an age when they wanted me to play her mother.

Age for me is just a number.

I know you think that when you're 35, 45, 55, you'll be different. But I'm going to let you in on a bit of a secret. You're going to look different, and your life is going to be different, but in your head you'll always be that 16-year-old girl.

Little girls are cute and small only to adults. To one another they are not cute. They are life-sized.

I'm a lot older than I was when I was 30, which is kind of hard to believe.

You never expect anything when you are 20 because you think that you'll never get older.

When people think of me initially, they remember me as 'Akeelah.' Sometimes it can be frustrating to be remembered at an age that you've outgrown.

Fifteen is such a weird age to be. Nobody treats you like an adult, but you desperately want to be one. You still have these childlike aspects, but you're just kind of coming into the world.

Maybe this whole obsession about colouring our hair is about our inability to grow up. To let go of the fact we aren't children any more, and the whole thing about changing our faces and looking young, and 60 being the new 40, is maybe we don't want to let go of our childhood.

You can't be 16 forever.
