Sayings About Being 35

#1. I like being 35, I like having a bit of money to spend on music and useless gadgets. The net is providing new ways to communicate and cooperate that just didn't exist in the 80s.

Malcolm Wilson

#2. I think [aging] has nothing to recommend it. You don't gain any wisdom as the years go by. You fall apart, is what happens. People try and put a nice varnish on it, and say, well, you mellow. You come to understand life and accept things. But you'd trade all of that for being 35 again.

Woody Allen

#3. I want to play a fireman and a spy. I want to learn special effects.

Frank Smith

#6. 35. When you do anything from a clear judgment that it ought to be done, never shun the being seen to do it, even though the world should make a wrong supposition about it; for, if you don't act right, shun the action itself; but, if you do, why are you afraid of those who censure you wrongly?

Epictetus

#7. The digital formats keep changing so rapidly. I feel like so many people are shooting digital but the quality is being lost. There's a texture and a richness to the 35 format that's incomparable.

Daryl Wein

#8. I have no problem being 53. Why would I want to be 35 again? I want to discover who I am in my 50s. And if I tried too hard to look younger, it would seem that I was uncomfortable with who I am, wouldn't it?

Ellen Barkin

#9. You are only an actor if you absolutely love it and can not do anything else. Starving for your art is great in your 20s, but it's not so great at 35. It has to be absolute love. You can't worry about being a movie star or anything else. Just love. That's it.

James Avery

#10. But I can't imagine Harry being a stockbroker at 35. That doesn't really seem the stuff of 'Harry Potter'.

David Heyman

#11. I struggled with being a Latino growing up in Los Angeles. I felt very American. I still do. I went to 35 bar mitzvahs before I went to a single quinceanera. I could talk all day about my culture and what it means to me.

America Ferrera

#12. A man's beliefs are his destiny. As soon as my father believed his life was over, it was.

Carolee Dean

#13. We must be neither cowardly nor rash but courageous.

Aristotle.

Morgan Matson

#15. Until everyone in this country over 35 has passed away, the theocracy will still be alive. And I am not actually of the theocracy, and that could bother people. I think I've probably taken a bit of flak for that, as well as being an arsehole occasionally, obviously.

Sinead O'Connor

#16. Isabel wondered if there would ever be a time when she could stop being careful. If there would ever be a time when she could use other kinds of power. She missed it. It felt like part of her had been injected with novocaine and was totally numb. Almost dead (p.35).

Melinda Metz

#17. One of the problems with hip hop is lack of infrastructure and not being able to control its own course. I don't like that hip hop is full of infantile 35-year-olds. Hip hop cannot afford to be lazy.

Chuck D

#18. I love trying things and discovering how I hate them.

D.H. Lawrence

#19. A lot of actresses will just go, "I'm 35." And I thought, " I'm not doing that." I like being 40.

Richard Simmons

#23. Yeah, I feel sort of unfinished in New York, even though I spent so many years there. I think it's because I never got a chance to do any Broadway, or even off-Broadway. I would love to do that and I haven't given up on that.

Eva LaRue

#24. I would not have so many scripts being driven by demographics. The play's the thing - not the 18-35 year old male age group.

Stephen Tobolowsky

#25. All fiction is largely autobiographical and much autobiography is, of course, fiction.

P.D. James

#26. This is why for thousands of years Christians have found the cross to be so central to life. It speaks to us of God's suffering, God's pain, God's broken heart. It's God making the first move and then waiting for our response.

Rob Bell

#27. There are a lot of downsides to being male. We age faster and die younger. But give us this: we're lifetime baby-making machines. Women's reproductive abilities start to wane when they're as young as 35. Men? We're good to go pretty much till we're dead.

Jeffrey Kluger

#28. I don't feel like I am 66 at all. I feel more like I am 35. But I have a bus pass so it must be true.

Joanna Lumley

#29. disney in shadows

Ridley Pearson

Brian Posehn

Jimmy Lyons

#32. In 35 years of being in the media, I've had all this mud flung at me many, many times. It's not the first time. It's nothing unusual. I've been through it all before and the best way to deal with it is not to read them.

Delia Smith
