I'm Italian; I take my time. We're not really fast. We're very slow. I had my first child at 40, my second child at 45, James Bond at 50. I'm so curious as to what's next!
Man alone is born crying, lives complaining, and dies disappointed.
I have seen too many people in my career think that there is some natural progression to life, with certain career milestones preceding whatever you may want in your personal life. Unfortunately, life doesn't know it is supposed to follow a schedule.
At fifty. I thought I would be done. I thought I'd be finished by now. So I have no idea. I just leave it.
For two years, I'd lived in Silicon Valley, surrounded by other highly educated transplants with seemingly perfect lives. It's jarring to live in a world where every person feels his life will only get better when you came from a world where many rightfully believe that things have become worse.
I remember, when I was 24, I said 34 was going to be the limit I will play to. But as everyone says, the older you get, the longer you want to go on because it gives you so much satisfaction.
I don't think my life is more interesting than anybody else's.
Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow may be for us and it may not.
Society, in general, has taught for many generations that when you reach a certain age, you have to learn to stop playing.
You set paths for yourself, but as you get older, things change.
Listen - by the time I'm 40, I'm either gonna be super famous or dead.
I see kids and young adults walking the streets of L.A. with this enormous sense of entitlement, who seem to think that if they are basically good people and pay their bills, then the world will be good back to them. And I think life isn't always like that.
I never imagined myself making these big movies and being married and having kids.
I didn't have any expectations of what my family life would end up being like. But I've been very blessed in my life to have a wife who loves me and supports me and is able to be in my band and travel with me.
He that is not handsome at 20, nor strong at 30, nor rich at 40, nor wise at 50, will never be handsome, strong, rich or wise.
When I was young, I was told: 'You'll see, when you're fifty.' I am fifty and I haven't seen a thing.
I thought I'd be spending my life making brooms, mops, chairs and things. That's fine for some blind people, but I wanted something more out of life. Music seemed the best way.
Films were never in my budget. Didn't occur to me till much later. I hoped for a long, good life, which I've had and I'm having as an actor. I didn't expect the rest.
Youth demands more than ordinary life. Age clings to it.
My whole life is waiting for the questions to which I have prepared answers.
My past seems to be way more fascinating for people than my future, which bums me out.
You have a certain number of dreams in your life you want to fulfill.
Every day in a life fills the whole life with expectations and memory.
Everyone takes pause at 40. It's the age you have to assess everything in your life. It's the fictitious marker that's always coming up when you're young. The world really does look at you to kind of have it together by 40, and be successful by 40. Whatever success means.
Not everyone is married at 25 and taken care of.
