When you're in your twenties and starting out, the problem is that you care about being cool. Being older, I can care less about being cool, which is a liberating feeling.
As you get older, you realize you're not that cool. You also realize the people you called posers are just people like you.
Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we're kids? If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited about aging that you think in fractions.
As you get older, you just lose that confidence and narcissism you have in your twenties. You realize you have less time on the planet, and you become cynical and less confident.
The older I get, and the more I travel in particular, the less I care about what exactly is in the dish than who's cooking it and why.
As I grow older and older,
And totter toward the tomb,
I find that I care less and less
Who goes to bed with whom.
As I grow older and older, And totter toward the tomb, I find that I care less and less, Who goes to bed with whom.
As I get older, I plan less, and I strategize less about my career and about things because you realize things happen as they're supposed to happen and the way they're supposed to happen.
It's cool because, as you get older, you get offered older parts. You're older, so you can't play 10 anymore. That was always very exciting for me.
One of the things you realize about gettin older is that not everybody is goin to get older with you.
You may be a geek. You may have geek written all over you. You should aim to be the geek they will never forget. Don’t aim to be civilized. Don’t hope that straight people will keep you on as some sort of pet. To hell with them, they put you here. You should realize what society has made of you and take full revenge. Get weird. Get way weird. Get dangerously weird. Get sophisticatedly thoroughly weird and don’t do it half way, put every ounce of your horse power into it. Have the artistic courage to realize your significance in culture.
When I'm working I actually forget to eat. I don't eat sweets because I don't care about them. I have no real secrets. I just realize that as I get older I should stay strong so I exercise more.
I used to worry about being cool. Now I realize that I genuinely don't care.
I couldn't care less about what people think of me! I do what I do, and I don't care about what other people think is cool. I don't care about image!
My older brother was cool, so I was suddenly cool by association. And I totally dusted all my old math friends.
It's a good thing to be old. Because when you get older, that means you haven't died yet, right? And when I do get older, I want to have the grace to be proud of it, not to lie about it or try to fight it.
