I assume everyone around me is older because they look more responsible.

I just think that the older you get, the more you appreciate the responsibility of politics.

One of the things that goes with getting older is that one becomes more conservative - and I emphasise that when I use the word conservative I do not mean politically.

I shall not grow conservative with age.

I've heard this before from people: early 20s kind of screws with your head a little bit because you're transitioning into adulthood and actually becoming an adult with responsibilities and paying bills. So all of a sudden, it's like you're responsible now.

I've elected to age gracefully.

I didn't know I was a conservative when it didn't matter to me growing up.

Just as I got older, I think I've become more and more conservative.

Any mature, responsible adult doesn't run around stomping their feet and screaming 'I'm a mature, responsible, adult.'

Children who assume adult responsibilities feel old when they're young.
