And the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts.

I’m a better actor now than I ever was, I wish I could have hurried that up, but there’s no way. Anyway, I always wanted to be around for a long time. Like a European actor, I hope I live a long time and that I’m acting until I finish.
When I was young I was called a rugged individualist. When I was in my fifties I was considered eccentric. Here I am doing and saying the same things I did then and I’m labeled senile.
Megamind: I was 8 days old and still living with my parents. How sad is that? Clearly, it was time to move on.
For hearts when they ’re young should make the vow,
For when they are old they don’t know how
What Youth deemed crystal,
Age finds out was dew.

At my age, flowers scare me.
Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.
