One day, I got so disgusted that I sat down and wrote a list called 'Justin's list of things to do before he kicks the bucket.' I wrote it for myself and shortened it to 'Justin's Bucket List.' It was there on the wall, not as a story idea but as a motivational tool for myself, which actually ended up working pretty well.
Seeing my book on a billboard in New York was a bucket-list-type thing, but also a deeply surreal moment. I had to keep reminding myself that, oh, yes, I wrote that book.
I fear that the day I die, I am going to die without accomplishing what I have in my mind. Life is too short, and a lot of things can happen, and I am really keen to see it with my own eyes - and that is why I am in a hurry.
I've been to so many beautiful countries and never got the chance to see them.
I'll be on a beach somewhere when I'm 40.
I was in the 'Alvin and the Chipmunk' movie, which was a real bucket list item.
I'm sure there's a subconscious 'go for it' thing with turning 50. You want to do as much as possible and there are thoughts of how little time we have on the planet. For a lot of musicians in their 50s, the best days are behind them. I'd like to try and show that there is a future.
Before I die, I want to fight for life.
If I die tomorrow, I've accomplished everything I wanted to do in life.
My sister Naomi and I always wanted to go to Tahiti. We planned a fantastic holiday to visit several islands, but at the last moment, Naomi cancelled. It was the first time I'd holidayed alone, and it was absolutely the best.
What would I do if I knew I only had six months to live? Type faster.
Doing a play in New York is ticking off a major, major bucket list thing for me.
I would love to be a Bond girl. That is on my bucket list, definitely.
When one has not long to live, why shouldn't one have fancies?
A lot is yet to be enjoyed. I'd like to stomp grapes for wine. Go to Antarctica. Have dinner with Venus Williams who is the greatest tennis player ever.
The truth is, I need 10 lifetimes to scratch the surface of the things I'd love to do.
I have a travel bucket list that keeps getting bigger and bigger.
I've just been on a once-in-a-lifetime holiday. I'll tell you what, never again.
Try to accomplish things you have always dreamt of while you can. I know it sounds cliche, but the biggest lesson I have learned is that life is precious; enjoy it while it lasts.
I'm moving on in years, but I tell you I still want to kick the devil before I kick the bucket.
I've traveled the world in one of the best groups ever. I'm 42.
My 40th birthday I held in an old-age home. My 50th I had at Pravda before it opened in New York. My 60th I had at Pastis. For my 70th, I thought, 'I don't need to have a celebrity party this year. I'm going to go take my oldest, closest friends to Paris.'
After I was 70, I realized that, 'Okay, I would like to have another 50 years, and I probably could.' But part of me is saying, 'Maybe I'm not going to have that much time.'
When I turned 59, I looked at that as the first day of my 60th year, so I've been 60 for the last 365 days, in my opinion. So I've been thinking all this year, I'm 60 - this is the time when I need to get some stuff done.
When you live in New York City, you run up a long list of things you've been meaning to do.
