The older I get, the happier my childhood becomes.
‐‐ John Burnside
The older I get, the harder it is to splurge without consequences. I love food. Chocolate and cheese and anything that's bad for me. I'll be really good when I'm at home so I can eat what I want to when I'm out with friends.
‐‐ Carrie Underwood
The older I get, the less I know. By that I mean the less I am sure of. I view people with strong opinions on the big stuff with distrust. I don't think we should have certain certainties on faith and politics; I think we should be open-minded.
‐‐ Pam Ferris
The older I get, the less I need. I wear the same jean shorts for the whole week. I'm not running to the store to get the latest bag.
‐‐ Daria Werbowy
The older I get, the less I obsess about material stuff. In fact, stuff has become the enemy. There always seems to be more of it than I have storage in my house!
‐‐ Rick Riordan
The older I get, the less I suffer fools gladly.
‐‐ Kathleen Turner
The older I get, the less jarring I want my exercise to be, and I find that a long walk is equally as helpful and satisfying as a three-mile jog.
‐‐ Kim Cattrall
The older I get, the more I accept and appreciate myself.
‐‐ Paula Patton
The older I get, the more I appreciate my rural childhood. I spent a lot of time outdoors, unsupervised, which is a blessing.
‐‐ Barbara Kingsolver
The older I get, the more I appreciate the idea of being thrown together with a group of people you might have a lot in common with, or nothing at all. You don't have the option of doing anything other than making your family relationships work - forever. I like that.
‐‐ Kate Klise
The older I get, the more I become an apple pie, sparkling cider kind of guy.
‐‐ Scott Foley

‐‐ K. D. Lang
The older I get, the more I feel almost beautiful.
‐‐ Sharon Olds
The older I get, the more I just like plugging directly into my amp. I'm tired of trying to impress myself with weird sounds. It's about the notes more.
‐‐ Steve Vai
The older I get, the more I like the idea of utilitarianism. I think that I'm not a trend-driven person. I really believe in keeping your canvas very basic and sort of adding the accouterments from there. I look at creating intrigue with outfits through accessories.
‐‐ Erin Wasson
The older I get, the more I'm conscious of ways very small things can make a change in the world. Tiny little things, but the world is made up of tiny matters, isn't it?
‐‐ Sandra Cisneros
The older I get, the more I'm prepared to do things for the money.
‐‐ Naveen Andrews
The older I get, the more I'm starting to believe in myself.
‐‐ Michelle Gomez
The older I get, the more I'm starting to believe in myself. I'm beginning to think of roles that I could do that I would not have allowed myself to think of before, saying: 'That's not for me, that's for the big guns.'
‐‐ Michelle Gomez
The older I get, the more I realize how rare it is to meet a kindred spirit.
‐‐ Ethan Hawke
The older I get, the more I realize that religion is not going to be easily marginalized by one of its wannabe successors - science, capitalism, consumerism.
‐‐ Bruce Feiler
The older I get, the more I realize the importance of maintaining an even temperament - not getting too emotional, focusing on the task at hand. You don't want to make a business deal based on your emotions.
‐‐ Aaron Diehl
The older I get the more I realize there's no real good guys or real bad guys, and I'm curious about how the good guys got good and how the bad guys got bad.
‐‐ Ted Demme
The older I get, the more I see that there really aren't huge zeniths of happiness or a huge abyss of darkness as much as there used to be. I tend to walk a middle ground.
‐‐ Paula Cole
The older I get, the more I seek to use a plain prose style, concentrating more on story.

‐‐ Christine Baranski
The older I get, the more I understand that the only way to say valuable things is to lose your fear of being correct.

The older I get, the more important my view of the family is.
‐‐ Robert Fogel
The older I get, the more important the eternal becomes to me personally.
‐‐ Billy Graham
The older I get, the more impressed I am with women. I have yet to meet a woman who is not strong. They don't exist.
‐‐ Diane von Furstenberg
The older I get, the more individuality I find in animals and the less I find in humans.
‐‐ Chuck Jones
The older I get, the more interesting the part has to be. Bobby Knight is extremely interesting.
‐‐ Brian Dennehy
The older I get, the more my curiosity grows, and every book I write is a new exploration.
‐‐ Gillian Cross
The older I get, the more nervous and anxiety-ridden I get. I don't know how to fix that.
‐‐ Vince Gilligan
The older I get, the more of a recluse I turn into. I love the social aspect of my work. It's like a commune and gets very intense and very sociable. Then when I am not working, I shut myself away, so I can see myself living up a mountain.
‐‐ Ben Daniels
The older I get the more of my mother I see in myself.
‐‐ Nancy Friday
The older I get, the more open-minded I get, the less judgmental I get.
‐‐ Gwyneth Paltrow
The older I get, the more relaxed I am.
‐‐ Claire Forlani
The older I get, the more vegetables I eat. I can't stress that more. Eating healthy really affects my work. You not only need to be physically prepared, but mentally and spiritually.
‐‐ James Badge Dale
The older I get the more wisdom I find in the ancient rule of taking first things first. A process which often reduces the most complex human problem to a manageable proportion.
‐‐ Dwight D. Eisenhower
The older I get, the surer I am that I'm not running the show.
‐‐ Leonard Cohen
The older I get, the younger I feel. Growing up, I was always the kid, but I spoke like an adult and was in adult roles. I didn't feel like a kid. The older I get, I actually feel younger! Which is good. I always thought when you get older, you'll want to slow down, but I want to do even more.
‐‐ Brooke Shields
The older I grow the more I distrust the familiar doctrine that age brings wisdom.
‐‐ H. L. Mencken
The older I grow, the more I find myself alone.
‐‐ Alberto Giacometti
The older I grow the more I see the influence of my family on my life. I didn't always see it. It was up to our parents to see that we had our education in a town that hadn't yet realized what racial prejudice was but actually knew and practiced it on occasion.
