I just kept it real and had the freedom to do what I want. It’s not designed for any age group. It’s not made for radio. There are no edits. The whole album contains explicit lyrics but that’s because you need it. – Vanilla Ice
I hid the fact that I had an aneurysm for a very long time. I was embarrassed, and I just felt like no one needed to know because it made me look weak. Who would of thought someone my age, at 23, had a brain aneurysm? – Tamala Jones
Grandmasters decline with age. That’s a given. There is nothing special about the age of 40, but age eventually takes its toll. That much is clear. Beyond that, it’s about how long you can put off the effects and compensate for them. Mistakes will crop in, but you try to compensate for them with experience and hard work. – Viswanathan Anand
Most of my readers think I’m obsessed with time management, but they haven’t seen the other – much more legitimate, much more extreme – obsession. I’ve recorded almost every workout I’ve done since age 18. Since 2004, I’ve been tracking everything from complete lipid panels, insulin, and hemoglobin A1c, to IGF-1 and free testosterone. – Timothy Ferriss
I love New York. I was in New York at the age of 13, at the School of American Ballet, walking around the subways in my little bunhead and thinking I was so cool. – Teri Polo
At the age of 12 I won the school prize for Best English Essay. The prize was a copy of Somerset Maugham’s ‘Introduction To Modern English And American Literature.’ To this day I keep it on the shelf between my collection of Forester’s works and the little urn that contains my mother’s ashes. – Wilbur Smith
Despite what some investors say, older age is an advantage in the startup world. You know more about industries and markets, and have ideas for products that the world actually needs and a better ability to motivate and manage than a kid out of school does. – Vivek Wadhwa
I wanted to explore cancer not just biologically, but metaphorically. The idea that tuberculosis in the 19th century possessed the same kind of frightening and decaying quality was very interesting to me, and it seemed that one could explore the idea that every age defined its own illness. – Siddhartha Mukherjee
When I did a study of all the coming-of-age movies that meant a lot to me, whether it was ‘The Graduate’ or ‘Rebel Without a Cause’ or ‘Dead Poet’s Society,’ they all had that timeless feel. None of them were completely married to the details of their age. They felt timeless in their treatment of it. That’s what made them resonate with me. – Stephen Chbosky
Children from like 8 and even up to the college age – Spider-Man appeals to a fairly broad demographic but, like I said, a mean age probably of 12 is a good mark – they process information so quickly and it’s not because of attention deficit or short attention span. – Thomas Haden Church
Where the despair of loneliness and poverty haunts every hour, the optimism to embark on new projects cannot find a place to alight on the brain’s cortex. Poverty itself is an enormous obstacle to an enlightened and enlightening – not to say healthy – old age. – Sherwin B. Nuland
Middle Age is that perplexing time of life when we hear two voices calling us, one saying, ‘Why not?’ and the other, ‘Why bother?’ – Sydney J. Harris
I actually think the whole concept of retirement is a bit stupid, so yes, I do want to do something else. There is this strange thing that just because chronologically on a Friday night you have reached a certain age… with all that experience, how can it be that on a Monday morning, you are useless? – Stuart Rose
I was a young boy when I met the Surrealists and the Dadaists. I admired them, and that is what they taught me: to admire. Admiration is very important. People who are unable to admire others lose an important part of their soul. My soul developed from a very early age through encounters with admired people. – Stephane Hessel
It’s pathetic, but I don’t really remember my first time reading ‘The Great Gatsby.’ I must have read it in high school. I’m pretty sure I remember it being assigned, and I generally did the reading. But I don’t remember having a reaction to the book, even though I loved literature, and other works made a lasting impression on me at that age. – Susan Choi
It gets too easy to write from the point of view of a male character of my age, with the same cultural frame of reference. – Steven Heighton
At the age of 14, I moved across town to Magdalen College School, Oxford, where science played a much larger role in the curriculum. – Tim Hunt
We live in an age that is driven by information. Technological breakthroughs… are changing the face of war and how we prepare for war. – William J. Perry
In this age of omniconnectedness, words like ‘network,’ ‘community’ and even ‘friends’ no longer mean what they used to. Networks don’t exist on LinkedIn. A community is not something that happens on a blog or on Twitter. And a friend is more than someone whose online status you check. – Simon Sinek
The Tiffany lamp is an American icon bridging the immigrants, settlement houses, and the slums of the Lower East Side and the wealthy industrialists of upper Manhattan, the Gilded Age and its excesses. – Susan Vreeland
The majority of teenagers don’t even make eye contact with people, even people of the same age. – Saoirse Ronan
American movies are often very good at mining those great underlying myths that make films robustly travel across class, age, gender, culture. – Tom Hooper
I think Serena Williams is the best tennis player of this generation, if not the best ever. It is amazing for her to be playing as well as she is at the age of 31. – Samantha Stosur
It’s not like I think: ‘By the age of 40 I’ve got to be an international household name.’ When the opportunity to perform comes up, then I’ll take it. It’s really good fun. But because I don’t crave the attention or the buzz, it’s not like I’m desperate for it. – Stephen Merchant
Italians know that what matters is style, not fashion. Italian style does not have social or age boundaries. – Stefano Gabbana
