He that is not handsome at 20, nor strong at 30, nor rich at 40, nor wise at 50, will never be handsome, strong, rich or wise.

As I approve of a youth that has something of the old man in him, so I am no less pleased with an old man that has something of the youth. He that follows this rule may be old in body, but can never be so in mind.

Being young isn't about age, it's about being a free spirit. You can meet someone of 20 who's boring and old, or you can meet someone of 70 who's youthful and exciting. I met Fred Astaire when he was 72 and I was 21, and I fell in love with him. He certainly was a free spirit.

I like a boyish quality in a man, somebody who is still adventurous. But I have no rules. I do not care - within reason - about your chronological age. I care whether you have passion in your life.

A healthy love life is not and should not be the preserve of those in their 20s and 30s. It's important at all ages.

I'd date someone younger or older; age doesn't matter to me. Or looks, really - it's all about maturity.

Relationships are the hallmark of the mature person.

After all, life hasn't much to offer except youth, and I suppose for older people, the love of youth in others.

I have never known a man who was sensual in his youth, who was high-minded when old.

This idea that being youthful is the only thing that's beautiful or attractive simply isn't true.
