A Quote by Dan Savage

I'm 52, which means I don't really... I was never a person who celebrated birthdays to begin with. At this stage, it's certainly something that someone who made a big deal out of their birthdays in their 20s and 30s kind of hangs that up. Not because you're sad to be getting older. I'm thrilled to be getting older. I have so many friends who died when they were 25 and would be ecstatic to be here with me turning 50. It's a thrill and a privilege to still be alive.

All birthdays are good. You're getting closer to death. You're getting older. You can smile and laugh at it. It doesn't have to be bad.

Randhir Kapoor

Birthdays are getting harder as I get older.

I want to see 61, and one day I want to see 90, so that means I have to keep having birthdays. So what am I supposed to do? Be ashamed because I'm getting older? No, how about I embrace myself, my age, the space that God has put me in, and learn from and teach other people and we support each other as women, because we're all beautiful - different sizes, shapes, colors - and we celebrate ourselves as we grow older and become better.

Vanessa Bell Calloway

I just feel like it gets harder and harder every year with Ace getting older and time away from my husband and even family events such as birthdays and friends' weddings and things that I've always just missed out on because of softball.

Jennie Finch

I feel lucky to be getting older. The fact that I made it to 30 and then 40 was big enough. So I can't get too down on getting older; otherwise, it kind of undoes everything I've fought for.

Sam Taylor-Johnson

I'm kind of comfortable with getting older because it's better than the other option, which is being dead. So I'll take getting older.

George Clooney

But I'm kind of comfortable with getting older because it's better than the other option, which is being dead. So I'll take getting older.

I really don't care about birthdays. It's something where even as a kid, I never really felt comfortable when someone would sing to me.

No, but it’s not because I’m getting older that I’m trying to accelerate. But something very curious is happening: The older I get, the more ideas I’m getting.

Older men are wiser and that is much cooler to me. I've never been one for going out clubbing or getting off my head, so I always gravitated to men who were similar. They just tended to be older. I think you have more of an adventure with an older man. And a happier journey.

So many people pass up older dogs, which is a shame. With an older dog, you know what you are getting.

Lisa Jakub

If you can do your thing on a big stage, it helps, but then to do it against guys that are older than you still gives me confidence that all the hard work I'm putting in is really working and I just got to keep getting better.

RJ Barrett

Birthdays could be such a bummer when you were older than the country you lived in.

Lynsay Sands

I spent most of my 20s dating older men, and I really wish I had spent that time dating men my own age who were going through the same experiences I was. I totally understand the appeal of a mature, dashing older man over fellow twenty-somethings who are still figuring things out. And, true, a fling with an older man can be instructive in many ways, and no doubt he finds you attractive.
