At the time I was growing up in the business I was very well established within the industry as a child actor and as I grew up and turned into a teenager there was less and less work.

I understand that there's a certain energy in youth, no question, in terms of pursuing jobs. But there is wisdom in age. It's too bad that the two can't come together because I do think that people are dropped from what they're really good at too soon.

It is an illusion that youth is happy, an illusion of those who have lost it.

I'm used to the egos in the 1960s, '70s and '80s where people just expected massive success and thought it was their birth right to be successful.

All of youth culture is packaged and sold back to us at this furious rate these days. I think it's part and parcel to this corporate encroachment on our lives in general.

You don't know this when you're young, but over time, you see that great companies are usually built at a special point in time.

Youth is happy because it has the ability to see beauty. Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old.

I've studied the lives of the 20th century's great businessmen and concluded self-confidence was instrumental in all their success.

Youth itself is a talent, a perishable talent.

I remember being young in the 1960s... we had a great sense of the future, a great big hope. This is what is missing in the youth today. This being able to dream and to change the world.
