Middle Age - later than you think and sooner than you expect.
I shall never be as old as I was between 20 and 30.
I think if I had joined the Army early, I would not have been able to appear in the drama 'Boys over Flowers' and had such a happy 20s.
I think the years leading up to 21 were a bit more fun than 21 and beyond might be.
I liked being a teenager, but I would not go back for all the tea in China.
Youth comes but once in a lifetime.
Childhood is a short season.
I grabbed a pile of dust, and holding it up, foolishly asked for as many birthdays as the grains of dust, I forgot to ask that they be years of youth.
Youth is the time of getting, middle age of improving, and old age of spending; a negligent youth is usually attended by an ignorant middle age, and both by an empty old age.
My children and their generation are not aware of the stardom I had enjoyed during my younger days.
If you saw pictures of me as a kid, you'd laugh because I was always in football kit.
Age is a chronological number. That's all. There is plenty of time for my life afterwards. I'm still a young woman.
I had a theatre company years ago when I was a young man, and we would do street theater. This guy did a workshop one day on fire eating, and I participated, and it was just one of those party tricks that you learn. My last endeavor doing that was with the Muppets, back in 1995 or something like that. And I haven't done it since.
It's funny, I listen to friends who talk about back when they were 14, eight, 16, whatever, as if it was yesterday. Me, I've no idea what I did. It's all a blur, I'm afraid.
I missed my teenage years. I was never a teenager.
These years are still the years of my prime. It is important to recognise the years of one's prime, always remember that.
You're only young once and you can't turn back the hands of time.
I look back on my 20s. It's supposed to be the prime of your life, the most vital, the most beautiful. But you're making your critical decisions and sometimes your most critical mistakes.
My whole world before I joined the Navy was my neighborhood in the Bronx.
Live as long as you may, the first twenty years are the longest half of your life. They appear so while they are passing; they seem to have been so when we look back on them; and they take up more room in our memory than all the years that succeed them.
I wouldn't want to sacrifice the last years that I have of being youthful in this business to have kids.
I had a really good time in my 20s and 30s.
The song 'I Feel the Earth Move' brings me back to those younger years when I was taking my first strides on the ice.
I started out taking photos of my friends on, like, disposable cameras, and I documented my younger sister and her friends all through high school.
I was just a regular kid.
