Have you ever wondered why young people take to music like fish to water? Maybe it's because music is fun. Plan and simple. It opens up their minds to dream great dreams about where they can go and what they can do when they get older.

When I was younger I wasn't concentrating on good days. I was managing a career and trying to have a good year. It would always 'lead' to something which never leads to anything except death where everything leads to. And then as I got older and then I had my kids and everything I began to appreciate a great Wednesday.

When you think about it the end of the world is a little bit like death: We all know it's going to come eventually and as we get older we feel we see the signs more and more distinctly.

I don't think kids have a problem with death. It's us older ones who are nearer to it that start being frightened.

Dating is different when you get older. You're not as trusting or as eager to get back out there and expose yourself to someone.

I'm not interested in dating. I like being with my own best friend me. Certain women particularly older women cannot believe I like going to a social event by myself. But I do.

The prospect of dating someone in her twenties becomes less appealing as you get older. At some point in your fife your tolerance level goes down and you realize that with someone much younger there's nothing really to talk about.

I started dating older men and I would fall in love with them. I thought they could teach me about life.

You know the man of my dreams might walk round the corner tomorrow. I'm older and wiser and I think I'd make a great girlfriend. I live in the realm of romantic possibility.

As I get older and I get a few more years experience I become more like Dad you know King Lear.

I'd always assumed that I would die at about the same age as my dad - he was 45. I am five years in credit now. I can't get my head around the fact that I am older than he was - ever.

Well my dad was a pretty good player at one stage and my two older brothers played golf as well. So there were always golf clubs flying around the house.

I've got a really great family round me two sisters and an older brother and my mum and dad. Everybody's equal.

The only day I remember of my parents' marriage was the day my dad walked out. As I stood there at five years old with my older sister and younger brother I knew that he was gone.

I can definitely say the older I've got the better I've become at being a dad and a husband.

I'm very at ease and I like it. I never thought I would be such a family-oriented guy I didn't think that was part of my makeup. But somebody said that as you get older you become the person you always should have been and I feel that's happening to me. I'm rather surprised at who I am because I'm actually like my dad!

Apparently one in five people in the world are Chinese. And there are five people in my family so it must be one of them. It's either my mum or my dad. Or my older brother Colin. Or my younger brother Ho-Chan-Chu. But I think it's Colin.

Feels good to try but playing a father I'm getting a little older. I see now that I'm taking it more serious and I do want that lifestyle.

The older people that one admires seem to be fearless. They go right out into the world. It's astounding. Maybe they can't see or they can't hear but they walk out into the street and take life as it comes. They're models of courage in a strange way.

You will find as you grow older that courage is the rarest of all qualities to be found in public life.

I never had a cool older brother or sister to turn me on to cool music. I had to discover it for myself.

As a father you immediately become uncool especially the older they get. The older you get it's inevitable that as cool as you think you are you're probably just as lame in your kids' eyes.

I think working with Johnny Depp was very intimidating. It was my fault though. I mean he's a total cool nice nice guy but I was just so I don't know overpowered by his presence. Like he's a very mystic person. He's older so I never really warmed up around him. I was so stiff.

I do resent that when you're in the most cool powerful time of your life which is your 40s you're put out to pasture. I think women are so much cooler when they're older. So it's a drag that we're not allowed to age.
