Some guys look better as they get older.

I put my flaws on front street. So the world accepted my flaws, so I don’t have any flaws.

The world has the habit of making room for the man whose actions show that he knows where he is going.

Self-confidence is the first requisite to great undertakings.

The expression a woman wears on her face is far more important than the clothes she wears on her back.

There’s very little advice in men’s magazines, because men don’t think there’s a lot they don’t know. Women do. Women want to learn. Men think, ‚I know what I’m doing, just show me somebody naked.‘

Don’t ever forget two things I’m going to tell you. One, don’t believe everything that’s written about you. Two, don’t pick up too many checks.

A man loves the meat in his youth that he cannot endure in his age.

True politeness consists in being easy one’s self, and in making every one about one as easy as one can.

Few women, I fear, have had such reason as I have to think the long sad years of youth were worth living for the sake of middle age.

Maturity is the ability to reap without apology and not complain when things don’t go well.

My philosophy is it’s none of my business what people say of me and think of me. I am what I am, and I do what I do. I expect nothing and accept everything. And it makes life so much easier.

When you are content to be simply yourself and don’t compare or compete, everybody will respect you.

I think it’s OK to be confident in yourself.

I think people should feel encouraged to be themselves.

You may be always victorious if you will never enter into any contest where the issue does not wholly depend upon yourself.

Relationships are the hallmark of the mature person.

I thought one should have the attitude of ‚What do you care what other people think!‘

How hard, how bitter it is to become a man!

My philosophy is: It’s none of my business what people say of me and think of me.

Send forth the child and childish man together, and blush for the pride that libels our own old happy state, and gives its title to an ugly and distorted image.

I’m odd looking. Sometimes I think I look like a funny muppet.

Those who believe that they are exclusively in the right are generally those who achieve something.

As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live.

None but a coward dares to boast that he has never known fear.

I don’t mind making jokes, but I don’t want to look like one.

You are victors, not victims!

For my generation, the bomber jacket is like a replacement for the suit jacket. It’s a piece that men wear every day, and it’s something that I would wear for any occasion, whether it’s on the street or going to an awards ceremony.

I will not be triumphed over.

Sometimes, people can be extraordinarily judgmental and closed-minded to anyone different or special, which is why it’s so hard for young people in this day and age to be comfortable enough in their own skin to not listen to the people picking on them.

We cannot live being obsessed with what other people think about us. It’s impossible to live like that. Not even God managed to please the entire world.

I have never been bewildered for long in any fight with our enemies – I was Armed with Insight.

Scripture is filled with examples of men and women whom God used late in life, often with great impact – men and women who refused to use old age as an excuse to ignore what God wanted them to do.

I’m very secure about my talents and about who I am.

I go down the street, people see me: ‚Hey, I pity-‚ right on, man, that’s a compliment to me.

It would be great to be 105 and still making films.

The years between fifty and seventy are the hardest. You are always being asked to do things, and yet you are not decrepit enough to turn them down.

I had a period where I thought I might not be good enough to publish.

I worked with someone who told me they’d never like me. But for some reason, I just felt like I needed her approval. So I started changing myself to please her. It made me stop being social and friendly. I was so unhappy.

When you’re 40, you can’t ride the fence anymore. You gotta make definite decisions about your life.

If every choice you make comes from an honest place, you’re solid, and nothing anybody can say about you can rock you or change your opinion.

I consider myself to have one of the greatest voices in the industry.

I’m not sure what you need first – the players believing or others believing in them – but in the end, both have to think it.

Personal beauty is a greater recommendation than any letter of reference.

It is easy to be beautiful; it is difficult to appear so.

I’m mortified to be on the stage, but then again, it’s the only place where I’m happy.

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

Never, and I mean never, allow anyone else’s ideas of who you can or can’t become sully your dream or pollute your imagination. This is your territory, and a ‚Keep Out‘ sign is a great thing to erect at all entrances to your imagination.

Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world.

I am neither bitter nor cynical but I do wish there was less immaturity in political thinking.

I never think of myself as an icon. What is in other people’s minds is not in my mind. I just do my thing.

He who falls in love with himself will have no rivals.

I still have mixed feelings about what growing up is – this thing that happens to everyone, so I’ve heard.

With realization of one’s own potential and self-confidence in one’s ability, one can build a better world.

I don’t even know how to speak up for myself, because I don’t really have a father who would give me the confidence or advice.

In South Korea, they believe that when you turn 60, you’ve become a baby again and the rest of your life should be totally about joy and happiness, and people should leave you alone, and I just think that that’s the height of intelligence.

Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement.

The moment you are old enough to take the wheel, responsibility lies with you.

One is lucky to be born in a place where no one is doing it, because then you can say, ‚Well, obviously I can write better than everyone else in high school.‘ You have no idea of the competition.

I think I write in a fairly self-confident manner.

When I cut my hair, the whole sound changed, my style changed.
