I am not the first man who wanted to make changes in his life at 60 and I won't be the last. It is just that others can do it with anonymity.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Turning 60 had an impact on my heart and soul, I must say, because you're dealing with time: past, present, and future. You suddenly realize you've come down the road quite a ways.
Since I've turned 50, I've had the best roles of my life, and I've got married. Everyone said that wasn't possible because there are no men, but I've done it. I think it's just going to get better.
At 50, I began to know who I was. It was like waking up to myself.
I don't know why people keep banging on about the '60s. I came from a conventional family and I didn't go off with different people - I rather wish I had now, seeing all the fun everyone else was having.
Can you picture yourself at the age 60 doing what you do now?
I don't know what I'll be like when I'm 60. I already have the traits of a retired gentleman.
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.
Wonderful things happen when you turn 50: you change perspective. You ask, 'Who am I? What do I want to do with my life? What have I not done that I want to do?'
There comes a time in every man's life when he must make way for an older man.
It's a beautiful thing at 60 to know who you are.
