I'm 36 and if I met a woman of my own age and married her, I'd also be marrying her former life, her past. It might be OK for some people - I don't want to judge it or anything - but it's not for me. It would destroy my creativity.

I got married young, far too young, but it is fine. We are still married 48 years later. I got married at 19.

There is no age better than another. The commitment to give of yourself and the knowledge that the time is right are what's important.

It doesn't matter how old people are. It matters if they love each other and have fun with each other. It has nothing to do with age. To get old is a mental disease. Everything is in the head.

This age thing is all up to you. It's like happiness is up to you. You just have to understand what it is before you get it.

If you age with somebody, you go through so many roles - you're lovers, friends, enemies, colleagues, strangers; you're brother and sister. That's what intimacy is, if you're with your soulmate.

I figure no matter how old you are, it's always going to be your first marriage and no life experience is going to make you a better judge of who you should marry.

My mom and my dad were married 56 years, and the fact that I reconciled with my dad I think made their marriage a little bit better as well.

Marriage is traditionally old-school in many respects. It is highly antiquated, and, that being said, beautiful.
