Pete Townshend Quotes

I have the sort of round face that you complain about when you're younger, but which serves you well as you get older.

The good thing about not being drop-dead gorgeous is that as time passes, I don't have much to worry about. I have friends who are actors and every day they look in the mirror with trepidation.

Aging on camera is just very hard. I love my age. I feel good about myself but high definition television is not kind. You don't even look like yourself in high-def. It just makes every little line on your face more exaggerated so it ends up aging you. It's like you're watching yourself seven years older.

One of the few advantages to not being beautiful is that one usually gets better-looking as one gets older; I am, in fact, at this very moment, gaining my looks.

You watch yourself age and it's hard to feel like a sex symbol.

I've always looked old for my age.

Alas, after a certain age every man is responsible for his face.

My eyes are too small, and they're too close together, and I have a pointy nose. But who cares? Who cares?!

I remember when I was starting out as a young actress, thinking, 'Oh my God, I have the fattest face.' Now I look at those pictures and I think, 'So much collagen!'

I'm probably the most introverted extrovert you'll ever meet. Up until I got this show I was constantly told, 'She was really good, but she's just not cute enough.'

I am really OK with the way I look. It's fine. All this is transient. I mean, it's really, you know, it changes with time, and that's the external.

I have not taken my good looks seriously from the beginning. When I would be teased by my friends about my looks, I would just make a self-deprecating remark and let it pass.

I still got my hair, I'm not fat.

I was always handsome under all the fat.

Good looks are not something you earn. But as you get older, how you look is a reflection of the life you've led.

I think I've always had a 40-year-old body, and now that I'm actually there I'm like, 'Hey, pretty good, huh?'

I don't look like Halle Berry. But chances are she's going to end up looking like me.

My face has always been my fortune anyway, not my body.

I see myself as most people see themselves, you have good days and bad days. I don't think I'm better looking now than I did three years ago.

You don't find me too bald, do you? Old, and bald, and with a belly?

Turning 50 changed me and I'm far more accepting of myself. I'm not thin, but I am a size 10. I go in at the middle and very much out at the bottom and top. And now I think, 'Well, that's how I am.'

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.

I'm an actor who they said was wrinkled and balding and everything else when I was in my early 30's. Most of the people who wrote that who thought they were younger than me are now bald and wrinkled.

The good thing about getting older is that, as you become less attractive, so you have less desire to go out and conquer everyone you see.

As I've got older, I feel more confident in my body, so wouldn't want to tamper with it.
