You never choose the way that you're raised it's just the way that you were raised but you do get to a certain age where you're in a position to question the expectations of you and the way that you've been formed by your surroundings.

Craziest thing I've done for love is getting married. I think it's crazy. I think it's crazy crazy crazy. I'm never going to say I wouldn't do it again but I have to make sure it's love and not settling for the 'I have to do this by a certain age ' which is kind of what I did.

I'm glad I was born when I was. My time was the golden age of variety. If I were starting out again now maybe things would happen for me but it certainly would not be on a variety show with 28 musicians 12 dancers two major guest stars 50 costumes a week by Bob Mackie. The networks just wouldn't spend the money today.

At a certain age it just became apparent to me that this was probably the work that I would have to do.

There are people whose watch stops at a certain hour and who remain permanently at that age.

It seems that when you get to a certain age you almost give yourself permission to misbehave and say what you think. People allow it with very old people.

You get to a certain age where you prepare yourself for happiness. Sometimes you never remember to actually get happy.

I think I don't regret a single 'excess' of my responsive youth - I only regret in my chilled age certain occasions and possibilities I didn't embrace.

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.

Everybody past a certain age regardless of how they look on the outside pretty much constantly dreams of being able to escape from their lives.

I'm well past the age where I'm acceptable. You get to a certain age and you are forbidden access. You're not going to get the kind of coverage that you would like in music magazines you're not going to get played on radio and you're not going to get played on television. I have to survive on word of mouth.

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.

To teach how to live without certainty and yet without being paralysed by hesitation is perhaps the chief thing that philosophy in our age can do for those who study it.

I suppose when they reach a certain age some men are afraid to grow up. It seems the older the men get the younger their new wives get.

Dressing up is a bore. At a certain age you decorate yourself to attract the opposite sex and at a certain age I did that. But I'm past that age.

Reading after a certain age diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking.

I don't believe one grows older. I think that what happens early on in life is that at a certain age one stands still and stagnates.

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