To be a writer you have to be out in the world, you have to risk yourself in the world, you have to be immersed in the world, you have to go out looking for it. This becomes harder as you get older because there's less energy, the days are shorter for older people and it's not so easy to go out and immerse oneself in the world outside.
Every age has its problem, by solving which humanity is helped forward.
As a 27-year-old, I'm like, 'everything is hard for me. Being young is so difficult.'
Almost any age is better than twenty-two.
There are in every age new errors to be rectified and new prejudices to be opposed.
I've never had to deal with ageism - so far - in my career; I have been able to navigate my career and getting older and the roles and opportunities that have come to me.
I'm 83 and a half years old and I feel fine. I feel like a teenager but I'm unable to do a lot of the things that I used to do but I enjoy life to the fullest.
I understand that being optimistic in this age is challenging, but I am optimistic nonetheless.
I was six when we came to this country. When I was 14 or so, I still had a lot of trouble with it.
Writers obviously have to bear witness to the harsh face of the age.
It's difficult to motivate yourself to do the workouts when you get older but I train hard.
I started auditioning when I was about 10 and I didn't get my first job until I was 12, and two years at that age is really hard.
I'm looking forward to playing the meatier roles you get in your 30s. The early 20s can be a hard time for an actress - it's always bombshell or romantic lead. The good stuff you can really sink your teeth into comes later.
I never - you know also one of the things that would save me for a man my age, it was not that easy to lose that much weight and fall down and look like something draped.
When given age-appropriate challenges, children tend to take them very seriously; in fact, the more obvious the risk is, the more cautiously a child will proceed.
We are very lucky to be men because women have a terrible time getting older parts. It's much more difficult.
Well, I am becoming doddering and old but I have - I'm writing two books a year now. It's like 220,000 words or something like finished, and, honest to God, I can't do that. I really do need the help of, you know, other people working with me.
I think at the age I'm at, it's really hard for a film career, and I'm at a point in my life where I thought it would be a good idea to be a part of a good show and to be able to finish school.
