I'm too old to do crazy things anymore.

There's nothing wrong with making the best of one's declining years, but what does annoy me is the fatalism. Now that we're seriously in range of finding therapies that actually work against ageing, this apathy, of course, becomes an enormous part of the problem.

Aging is not uncomplicated. Creativity is an extraordinary help against destructive demons.

The exhaustion of old age is something people who are younger don't fully appreciate.

You can't be crazy and wild when you're on work time. But, I like it, in that sense I think it makes you a better person for having matured at a younger age.

Getting older is a struggle. I always feel that just under the surface of acceptance and enjoyment of the ageing process is a terrible hysteria just waiting to burst out.

Ageing is inevitable, and the idea that we can be eternally youthful is the pitfall of our society.

As soon as you reach a certain age, you're thrown onto a kind of mental scrap heap.

In every generation, there are quite firm rules on how to behave when you are crazy.
