Lauren Hutton Quotes

Age is a very high price to pay for maturity.

'Age' is the acceptance of a term of years. But maturity is the glory of years.

I'm finally looking older and inviting my wrinkles.

I like growing up; I feel like I have an old soul. I like the age to match as much as it can.

In time we grow older, we grow wiser, we grow smarter, and we're better. And I feel like I'm becoming more seasoned, although I don't have my salt-and-pepper hair.

I see a wiser person than when I was younger: having babies, and passing 30, were the turning points. What women in their 40s - I am 39 - lack in gorgeousness, they make up for in wisdom. I love ageing, despite the drawbacks - thinner, drier skin.

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.

I had to have experience, you know what I mean? Because I've been doing this since I was 14... I couldn't write about anything at 14. I had to live some life. I definitely lived some life.

I've gotten away with a lot in my life. The older you get the more you realize you're not getting away with it, it's taking its toll somewhere. So you try not to put yourself in those situations. Part of the mysterious process called growing up. Some people do that better than others.

I hope to grow up and see myself accepting myself and accepting time going by and everything falls.

I don't know if it's that the scripts are evolving or just that I'm getting older, but the characters become more interesting as you get older because you've lived more life at different stages. You've loved; you've lost; you have more of that journey.

I'm very proud of my well-earned wrinkles, so show 'em.

I didn't get old on purpose, it just happened. If you're lucky, it could happen to you.

I don't want to put a pause on the rest of my life; I'm really enjoying getting older and the wisdom that comes from that.

My advice would be not to write until after 35. You need some experience, and for life to knock you about a bit. Growing up is so hard you probably won't have much emotion to spare anyway.

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

All my life I've been taught how to die, but no one ever taught me how to grow old.

In The Lime Twig I took two very young people and made them very old.

When we looked at the life cycle in our 40s, we looked to old people for wisdom. At 80, though, we look at other 80-year-olds to see who got wise and who not. Lots of old people don't get wise, but you don't get wise unless you age.

I think you grow up every year, every day. You learn something new and try to really worry about what's important in life.

I have to say I don't mind getting older.

You have to grow up, and you learn things along the way.

It's so much more interesting having life under your belt.

I think confidence comes with age and experience, honestly.

I love getting older.
