I don’t care about age. Nor do I care about those who do not accept the science. I don’t have as much experience, and therefore I listen more. But I also have the right to express my opinion, no matter my age.

I’ve never wanted to use my age as a gimmick, as something that would get me ahead of other people. I’ve wanted the music to do that.

It was the experience of mystery – even if mixed with fear – that engendered religion.

You learn from a conglomeration of the incredible past – whatever experience gotten in any way whatsoever.

I am 55 years old now. It takes three years to write one book. I don’t know how many books I will be able to write before I die. It is like a countdown. So with each book I am praying – please let me live until I am finished.

I’m not afraid to look like a big, hairy, smelly, foreign devil in Tokyo, though I do my best not to, I really do.

I’ve lived in good climate, and it bores the hell out of me. I like weather rather than climate.

Most of the people that I deal with are human. So I’ve had a lot of experience with that.

There are many harsh lessons to be learned from the gambling experience, but the harshest one of all is the difference between having Fun and being Smart.

I don’t believe you could be a 39-year-old quarterback in the NFL and eat cheeseburgers every day. I want to be able to do what I love to do for a long time.

No matter how long he lives, no man ever becomes as wise as the average woman of forty-eight.

Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.

The Italians and Spanish, the Chinese and Vietnamese see food as part of a larger, more essential and pleasurable part of daily life. Not as an experience to be collected or bragged about – or as a ritual like filling up a car – but as something else that gives pleasure, like sex or music, or a good nap in the afternoon.

I was a journeyman chef of middling abilities. Whatever authority I have as a commenter on this world comes from the sheer weight of 28 years in the business. I kicked around for 28 years and came out the other end alive and able to form a sentence.

No woman should ever be quite accurate about her age. It looks so calculating.

There is nothing bigger or older than the universe.

I probably hold the distinction of being one movie star who, by all laws of logic, should never have made it. At each stage of my career, I lacked the experience.

Take advantage of the years of pioneering efforts. You might find this boring, as the young want to rush head on, as it were.

It is beyond a doubt that all our knowledge begins with experience.

I had been told from school onwards that the best definition of a human being was man the tool-maker – yet I had just watched a chimp tool-maker in action. I remember that day as vividly as if it was yesterday.

The Edge… there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over.

You can know or not know how a car runs and still enjoy riding in a car.

If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast.

The drama and the trauma of the relationship you have when you’re 16 can mirror the one you have when you’re 26. Life repeats itself.

I do understand it’s not easy to run an I-league club. I have been part of many and I know the scene.

I have had a perfectly wonderful evening, but this wasn’t it.

Context and memory play powerful roles in all the truly great meals in one’s life.

To be radical, an empiricism must neither admit into its constructions any element that is not directly experienced, nor exclude from them any element that is directly experienced.

I am quite serious when I say that I do not believe there are, on the whole earth besides, so many intensified bores as in these United States. No man can form an adequate idea of the real meaning of the word, without coming here.

If you hold a cat by the tail you learn things you cannot learn any other way.

Music was an experience, intimately married to your life. You could pay to hear music, but after you did, it was over, gone – a memory.
