I'd always thought the Rats were good fun but one of the very nice things about being of Saga age is that I can actually look back and think When I was younger I was in a great band. It was always a collective thing.

In my older age I've learned to take things slower because I used to be that total-fall-in-love-after-a-day guy.

I think the most exciting thing is that you expect people our age to know the music but actually a lot of kids know the music and if anything is left we have left really good music and that's the important part not the mop-tops or whatever.

Starting a new retirement plan for those below a certain age is something tens of millions of Americans have already been through at work.

When I was at school I was in choirs more than anything else from a very young age about 9 years old. And then I started taking drum lessons.

The balance of private good and general welfare is at the bottom of civilized morals but the morals of the Heroic Age are founded on individuality and on nothing else.

I have worked very hard on being aware of my childhood but moving forward and not letting it bring me down emotionally. That is a hard thing - especially when you have children of your own and you remember what happened to you at that age.

We now have an opportunity though to do something we didn't do in the industrial age and that is to get a leg up on this to bring the public in quickly to have an informed debate.

We tend to think of age only in time but I don't think it has much to do with time at all there's a whole load of other things. I've met 16-year-olds who are old and 90-year-olds who are young.

Everyone takes pause at 40. It's the age you have to assess everything in your life. It's the fictitious marker that's always coming up when you're young. The world really does look at you to kind of have it together by 40 and be successful by 40. Whatever success means.

My parents got married late and they had kids late so I never felt a social or cultural thing to be married or pregnant or a homeowner by a certain age.

If children are not introduced to music at an early age I believe something fundamental is actually being taken from them.

Almost all of your life is lived by the seat of your pants one unexpected event crashing into another with no pattern or reason and then you finally reach a point around my age where you spend more time than ever looking back. Why did this happen? Look where that led? You see the shape of things.

The great thing about arriving at this age is that I don't even care about my career anymore.

Right up until the time I retired at age 37 I felt like there were still things that I could do better.

And from the first time I picked up a basketball at age eight - I had a lot of difficulty when I first picked up a basketball because I was a scrub - there were things that I liked about it.

I think that age as a number is not nearly as important as health. You can be in poor health and be pretty miserable at 40 or 50. If you're in good health you can enjoy things into your 80s.

A sense of freedom is something that happily comes with age and life experience.

Despite what anti-aging ads say growing older can be better. I feel better in my skin 100 percent. You have greater effects of gravity but the better sense of yourself you have is something I wouldn't trade. Women who lie about their age - 'why?'

There are only three things that can kill a farmer: lightning rolling over in a tractor and old age.

The wonderful thing about age is that your knees don't work as well you can't run down steps quite as easily and obviously you can't lift heavy weights. But your mind doesn't feel any different.

People quit on jobs. They quit on marriages. They quit on school. There's an immediacy of this day and age that doesn't lend itself to being committed to anything.

I've always felt that sexuality is a really slippery thing. In this day and age it tends to get categorized and labeled and I think labels are for food. Canned food.

Being successful at a very young age gave me the confidence and the capability to try out other things.
