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.

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.

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.

There are some advantages to being a writer: you do generally get better as you get older. I think I understand things better. When I was a kid, I was kind of guessing at the emotion. Now I'm interested in writing more difficult books, books that confront the facts of life, of death and dying and failure - the majority of life. You write outwardly imaginative books when you're younger. When you're older you apply imagination to internal experience.

What I am finding now is that my audience is getting younger as I get older, which is a very good thing as you know - you don't want them to get older as you get older.

Russell Banks

My ass is definitely higher than it was when I was 20. This is the thing that people don't understand - take care of your body [and it will] get better! It gets better as I get older.
