The fear of old age is something that one feels when they're younger. Once you get to being old, you're already there, so you don't even think about it anymore.
No one leaves an old friend unless they are ashamed.
One of the things you learn in football is that you're only as good as your last outing. I don't like to reflect on what we've done in the past. I'm not a very good storyteller, for one thing. I'd disappoint you. When it's time, I'll talk about the g...
For myself, hand on heart, those things never bothered me. It is one of the graces of married life that for some magical reason we always look the same to each other. Even our friends never seem to grow old. What a boon that is, and never suspected b...
You should make a new bucket whilst you still have the old one.
Music is pretty intimate stuff and I can only work with very few people: Gonzalez being one, Mocky being another and, on a completely different level, Broken Social Scene. With Broken Social Scene it's not one-on-one, it's a one-on-12. It's very heal...

Jonathan Brewster: I'll get every one of you! I hate cops! I'll brain the first one that comes near me!
Old age is just a record of one's whole life.
One of the many pleasures of old age is giving things up.
One keeps forgetting old age up to the very brink of the grave.
One of my rules is: Never listen to your old stuff.
Don't throw away the old bucket until you know whether the new one is watertight.
No, no, it's not the books you are looking for! Take it where you can find it, in old phonograph records, in old motion pictures, and in old friends; look for it in nature and look for it in yourself. Books were only one type of receptacle where we s...
Old age has got to start creeping up on me one day soon, and frankly I'm very scared. I don't want to be old. I've always felt so young. And I want to stay that way.
Error is acceptable as long as we are young; but one must not drag it along into old age.
