She said she was approaching forty, and I couldn't help wondering from what direction.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
For a woman, forty is torture, the end.
She was a handsome woman of forty-five and would remain so for many years.
Forty is the line of demarcation that says you're an adult now. You're an adult, so don't pretend you're a kid anymore.
Forty is better than 30. I have a better understanding of who I am, what makes me tick, what's okay and not okay.
Forty is when you actually begin even deserving to be on stage telling people what you think.
You see things differently at 40 than you do at 31. Especially if you got to 40 the way I did.
I really believe that a woman doesn't reach her peak until her 40s.
I used to think 40 was old. Now I think, 'Hey, 40's hot!'
I have always felt that a woman has the right to treat the subject of her age with ambiguity until, perhaps, she passes into the realm of over ninety. Then it is better she be candid with herself and with the world.
A woman past forty should make up her mind to be young; not her face.
