I think my songwriting has developed over the years. As I get older, I have become less afraid to share real experiences.

Rayvon Owen

I am really looking forward as I get older and older, to being less and less nice.

Annette Bening

A lot of us are ruled by fear during our lives - afraid we'll get burgled, afraid a dog will bite us, afraid we'll get fat, afraid someone will leave us. Once you lose fear, life becomes sweeter, and that happens as you get older. I'm sure by the time I'm 80, I'll be able to do absolutely anything!

Joanna Lumley

Call home at least once a week. It's a proven fact that we call home less the older we get. And that's wrong. It should be the other way around. As we get older, our parents get older.

Randy Pausch

We are all ageing and eventually we are all going to end up in the same place. It is okay to get older and look older. It doesn't make you any less of a human being or any less beautiful.

Stacey Solomon

I'd rather let the song live and, as I get older, I'm less absorbed with the clothing. The older I get, I just wanna write good songs.

Brandon Flowers

Happy people look young. You’re really afraid of getting older, aren’t you? You should only be afraid of getting less happy.

Deborah Smith

It is really very important while you are young to live in an environment in which there is no fear. Most of us, as we grow older, become frightened; we are afraid of living, afraid of losing a job, afraid of tradition, afraid of what the neighbours, or what the wife or husband would say, afraid of death.

Jiddu Krishnamurti

But, having said that, believe me, as you get older, the parts dry up. They get less and less.

Joseph Bologna

I would like to grow less afraid of dying. I am infinitely less afraid today than I was 15 or 25 years ago. I was most afraid of dying when I was 33, because I come from a Catholic family.

Sidney Poitier

I am pleased to say that as I get older, I get less and less like the sitcom 'Miranda.' She is really a clown character, a heightened version of the 20-something me.

Miranda Hart

Life seems to speed up as we get older because life gets less memorable as we get older.

Joshua Foer

As you get older, the summer is less of a vacation and more of a training period by yourself away from the team. It's exciting for me. I felt like I've been really getting better as far as my conditioning every single season as I get older.
