There is no age better than another. The commitment to give of yourself and the knowledge that the time is right are what's important.

When I was 20, I thought I was 30 - but I was so far from it. When you're young, you want everything to happen now. As you mature, you can look back and see all the great things you achieved with time and patience.

I think there is a lot made out of age, and what age you feel.

People idealize or reminisce about their 20s, but nobody tells you beforehand that it's hard and unglamorous and often very unpleasant.

18 to 19 is definitely a brilliant age. Equally, 50 or 60 should be good. Everything is done; you can relax a bit.

I think there are things that you look for when you're younger, and you think they are going to make you happier or make you feel complete. That's not going to happen, and it's really about living the moments. Eventually, you reach a point when you're at ease with your life and don't have any unrealistic expectations.

I think it's amazing that I'm 45 and it is the most creatively successful year of my life.

I think when you're in your 20s, going from adolescence to about 24, I think your life is a series of emotional storms that you have to weather. Life is more emotional at that time, and you're less equipped to deal with what life throws at you. I always think that if you can get past 24, than life really starts at that point.

This age thing is all up to you. It's like happiness is up to you. You just have to understand what it is before you get it.
