I believe that the fight against crime starts in the home. Parents must take responsibility for their children and show them love and guidance from an early age so they learn to respect the rights of others.

A truly great book should be read in youth again in maturity and once more in old age as a fine building should be seen by morning light at noon and by moonlight.

It's the golden age of French cinema again but it's because Sarkozy had the guts to push through copyright law.

Music has always been my protection against the world from a very young age. I feel safe inside of a jam.

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.

The networks just wouldn't spend the money today.

Over the years Woodstock got glorified and romanticised and became the event that symbolised Utopia. It's the last page of our collective memory of the age of innocence. Then things turned ugly and would never be the same again.

Being a father at a later age is different from when I had my other two daughters when I was in my 20s and 30s. If you're in your 60s and you're with the kid every day you're dealing with the mind of a child so it opens up that childishness in you again.

The nearer people approach old age the closer they return to a semblance of childhood until the time comes for them to depart this life again like children neither tired of living nor aware of death.

The excess of our youth are checks written against our age and they are payable with interest thirty years later.

As technology advances it reverses the characteristics of every situation again and again. The age of automation is going to be the age of 'do it yourself.'

An artist must be a reactionary. He has to stand out against the tenor of the age and not go flopping along.

It is well for the world that in most of us by the age of thirty the character has set like plaster and will never soften again.

A man growing old becomes a child again.
