As you get older, you look at things differently.

Well, you know, I'm much older than I look.

The older you get, the more you realize that the way you look is a reflection of how you treat yourself.

The real point of me isn't that I'm good looking. It's that I'm clever. I've got a brain! I would rather be called a highly intelligent historian than a gorgeous pouting one.

You know, I looked at my face in the mirror this morning, and I like being old. My face has more content and when I train in the gym now, I am not training to be strong or handsome - just better than I was yesterday. These days the race is just against myself.

I think I'm rather young and sprightly, but then you see pictures of yourself and think, 'Who is that old man?' and I realise I'm not as young as I thought I was.

I've always looked old for my age.

Good looks are not something you earn. But as you get older, how you look is a reflection of the life you've led.

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.

If you turn a smiling face on the world, you've got a chance of finishing up a good-looking old person.
