You come into the world alone and you go out of the world alone yet it seems to me you are more alone while living than even going and coming.

I remember when I was 6 years old and my brother used to go seek out guys that were 13 to come over and play football against me while he was the 'permanent quarterback.' I didn't know exactly what the age difference was but I was already playing against older guys.

While I had often said that I wanted to die in bed what I really meant was that in my old age I wanted to be stepped on by an elephant while making love.

I was a very sickly kid. While I was in the hospital at age 7 my Dad brought me a stack of comic books to keep me occupied. I was hooked.

Losing both parents at a young age gave me a sense that you can't really control life - so you'd better live it while it's here. I stopped believing in a storybook existence a long time ago. All you can do is push in a direction and see what comes of it.

Age is not measured by years. Nature does not equally distribute energy. Some people are born old and tired while others are going strong at seventy.

Work is transformative. It gives you a greater chance of a greater income. You can affect your life while you're of working age so you have scope and opportunity. Pensioners do not.

Age is the first limitation on roles that I've ever had to encounter and I hit that awhile ago.

Middle age went by while I was mourning for my lost youth.

While one finds company in himself and his pursuits he cannot feel old no matter what his years may be.
