But in 1941, on December 8th, after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, my mother bought a radio and we listened to the war news. We'd not had a radio up to that time. I was born in 1934, so I was seven years of age.
Learning to dislike children at an early age saves a lot of expense and aggravation later in life.
Right up until the time I retired at age 37, I felt like there were still things that I could do better.
Some broad themes brought me where I am today. At a very young age, my hobby became thinking and finding connections.
And I can't tell you how many women from a certain age group - they would be in their 30s now, 20s and 30s - tell me about how I was their role model when they were young girls.
When I was growing up, you'd read about actors, and they'd never tell you their age and how much they made a year as part of their definition.
Losing my father at a tender age was hard, and I felt it more so while growing up when I needed a father to talk to. Especially while pursuing an acting career where I would have loved his guidance and advice, since it was his passion as well.
There's a thing I think children realise at a certain age, which is that if their parents say, 'Don't do it', and they go ahead and do it, they're still not going to die. And I think that's what it is: that no matter what you do, you're not going to die.
In this age, if the currency of a major nation collapses, or its access to borrowing ends, it just can't function.
Ukippers are the kinds of fools who haven't noticed they're sleep-walking towards fascism. Many UKIP candidates are of the age when their parents fought in the Second World War.
I would like to see more airplay for all artists, no matter what age. I think there's a lot of money being spent toward the young guys, but a lot of the older guys are the ones who blazed the trail for those young guys.
I think that other girls and boys my age will maybe see that I'm so accepting and be accepting of other people, too.
The cinema I particularly love is the cinema of the golden age of the studios in the 1930s. One of the really nice things about it was the way teams of actors and directors and crew people worked together again and again.
In this time of budget cuts, we cannot forget that basic science is a building block for scientific innovation and economic growth in the information age.
One of the middle ones in the flock, I was born on July 24, 1857, in the small Jutland town of Fredericia. In 1863, my father was transferred to Randers, another Jutland town, where a year later, at the age of six, I experienced the invasion of the allied Prussian and Austrian armies.
I don't believe one grows older. I think that what happens early on in life is that at a certain age one stands still and stagnates.
The kids are old enough now - I just want to let them be kids. I don't want to comment on them too much. They're at an age where I just want to let them be kids.
Age is inevitable. Aging isn't.
I was a writer first, and knew I'd be a storyteller at age seven. But since my parents are very practical, they urged me to go into a profession that would be far more secure, so I went to medical school.
Most enlightened men now recognize that General Jackson is not fitted to fill the office of President; his limited experience of anything to do with civil government and his great age make him incompetent.
I was reading about an age pill that has been developed which they claim will make you live longer. That is not for me.
I am at that age when you panic at the slightest thing.
Few women, I fear, have had such reason as I have to think the long sad years of youth were worth living for the sake of middle age.
You get to an age when you lose people close to you.
Youth cannot know how age thinks and feels. But old men are guilty if they forget what it was to be young.
At my age flowers scare me.
I grew up learning ballet, and then I took up contemporary as I got older. I probably thought I was going to be a ballet dancer when I was younger, but at a certain age, I really was more interested in acting.

I began writing at the age of 5, but there was a dark period between the ages of 8 and 16 when I didn't write. I started again at 16 and have no idea why, but it was suddenly the only thing I wanted to do.
If you have the skill, then you can move as you age.
Death, torture and prison are part of daily life for the youth of Iran. They are not like us, my friends and I at their age; they are not scared. They are not what we were. They hold hands and scream: 'Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid! We are together!' They understand that no one will give them their rights; they must go get them.
Middle Age - later than you think and sooner than you expect.
My first Olympics was Munich in 1972. I am better now than I was then, in knowledge and experience. The age of top riders generally tends to be older than in other sports because it takes a lot of time to be consistent.
My mother enjoyed old age, and because of her I've begun to enjoy parts of it too. So far I've had it good and am crumbling nicely.
Thirty is not an age for a woman anymore.
Each age, it is found, must write its own books; or rather, each generation for the next succeeding.
