My mother always used to say: 'The older you get, the better you get, unless you're a banana.'

Betty White

I used to be scared of the Candyman. You'd say his name three times in the mirror and then he'd come get you. I was terrified of that stuff becoming true. My older cousins used to say things to make us believe crazy stories like that, so I was scared of the Candymanuntil I knew better.

Tony Harrison

The older kids, if they wanted something from you, whether it was cash or sports equipment, they would just take it. My older brothers used to say, 'If someone tries to take something from you, never give it to them.' So we fought all the time.

I used to get defensive when people asked me, 'Is it the control that you like about directing?' I used to say, 'No!' But now I'm older, I say, 'Yeah, it absolutely is!'

Kathy Burke

I used to say to myself when I was seven years old that I couldn't wait to get older so I could make money and buy my own clothes. I had a lot of sisters, so as we got older the hand-me-downs got better, but it wasn't until I was about 15 that I was able to buy my own stuff.

They usually say as you get older, you can't get better, but that's not true. I'm living proof.

I think you get used to being looked at. It used to bother me when I was young. But you get more secure with yourself at least as a man the older you get.

Howie Long

Once you get older, people stop listening to what you say. It's very agreeable once you get used to it.

A. S. Byatt

I do think that sports is really rich dramatically that, and this is kind of a self-serving thing to say, but I wonder why there aren't more, better sports novels.

Chad Harbach

I have to say, it seems to be the older I get, the better the work gets. When has that been true?

Elizabeth Marvel

As I get older, I want to draw on my experience to make roles better. I see that in the older women who inspire me - their experience makes them better.

Anne-Marie Duff

I grew up on the East Coast, and we always used to say, 'Go get your hustle on,' whether it was playing sports or making money. You do what you have to do to do what you want to do.

Antoine Fuqua

If you play sports, use sports. So many of our kids get used by the game and then get nothing out of it. Use it as a tool to open up other doors that you want to open in life.
