These fellows in our league lie too much about their ages.
I always add a year to myself, so I'm prepared for my next birthday. So when I was 39, I was already 40.
The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age.
I don't like it when people lie about their age.
Unfortunately, my age on Tinder says 28, and we all know I'm not that, but I don't know how to change it! So, every time I match with someone, I have to say, 'You know I'm 46, right?'
The character - character - of Mallory on 'Family Ties' was a year younger than me. A fictitious year younger than me. So, I am not 21. I am not getting into the club. Boom.
I have never admitted that I am more than twenty-nine, or thirty at the most. Twenty-nine when there are pink shades, thirty when there are not.
When I was 13 I had a fake Id that said that I was 19. I was getting in all the clubs.
I was 28 years old playing a 16-year-old. I just kept my mouth shut. I never talked about it.
My wife never lies about her age. She just tells everyone she's as old as I am. Then she lies about my age.
I took a straight picture that made me look like a thirty-year-old Italian who'd kill anybody who said something against his mother.
To get me in to the Army underage, my mother signed me in saying that my birth certificate was lost in a fire in Nashville, so I got in underage. I was 16. She did because I begged her to do it.
I was getting calls in 1970 from teenagers, little girls, and they'd say, 'Oh, I like your stories about so-and-so so much. How old are you? 20?' 'No. Older than that.' '30?' 'No. Older than that.' And they'd hang up.
I told somebody in Europe I was 43. I never tell my true age. It's ridiculous that people ask. The press doesn't deserve anything but lies.
Think about the pressure to "pass" by lying about one's agethat familiar temptation to falsify a condition of one's birth oridentity and pretend to be part of a more favored group. Fair-skinned blacks invented "passing" as a term, Jews escaping anti-Semitism perfected the art, and the sexual closet continues the punishment, but pretending to be a younger age is probably the most encouraged form of "passing," with the least organized support for "coming out" as one's true generational self.
Male actors have to lie about their ages, too.
How old are you?” she asked. My answer was automatic and ingrained. “Seventeen.” “And how long have you been seventeen?” I tried not to smile at the patronizing tone. “A while,” I admitted. “Okay,” she said, abruptly enthusiastic. She smiled up at me.
By candle-light nobody would have taken you for above five-and-twenty.
I'm just glad to get any role... the fact that they're all 90 is neither here nor there! Actually, it was Hook that started it. I think it was Peggy Ashcroft who couldn't do the part and somebody was asked how old was I and would I be able to do the part, and the person replied "92" very quickly. And so I've been stuck ever since! But I'm actually very grateful.
Just because of that one disastrous blind date she had last year, where the guy turned out to be fifty-nine, not thirty-nine (He claimed it was a typo. Yeah, I’m sure his finger just happened to slip two spaces to the left).
Regardless of what is on the Internet, I'm actually only 29 years old - and holding.
After a while, you have no idea how old you are because you've lied so many times.
This is what forty looks like. We've been lying so long, who would know?
People equate success with youth. And if you haven't had a certain amount of success by a certain time in your life, it's never going to happen. There's a fear about that. So people start lying about their age really young. I've never done that because I think it's so insignificant.
When you lie about your age, the terrorists win.
