Up until age 40 most men are just not as mature as women. So it makes sense that a lot of women date up in age a bit.

Losing both parents at a young age gave me a sense that you can't really control life - so you'd better live it while it's here. I stopped believing in a storybook existence a long time ago. All you can do is push in a direction and see what comes of it.

It is not possible to live in this age if you don't have a sense of many contradictory forces.

When I was younger my whole sense of self-worth was based on whether or not I was working which was awful. And I had a baby at 20 years old so it wasn't just about me.

We live in an age of instant knowledge. And there's almost a sense of entitlement to that.

There's also some element of coming of age during the Reagan administration which everybody has painted as some glorious time in America but I remember as being a very very dark time. There was apocalypse in the air the punk rock movement made sense.

Age gives you a great sense of proportion. You can be very hard on yourself when you're younger but now I just think 'well everybody's absolutely mad and I'm doing quite well'.

Man has no Body distinct from his Soul for that called Body is a portion of Soul discerned by the five Senses the chief inlets of Soul in this age.

Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen.
