Zitat des Tages über Zwanziger Jahre / Twenties:

In my twenties I would be skeptical of a bad haircut, but once you turn thirty it's more about whether he a nice person and does he open the door for me.

I wrote eight full-length adult novels in my twenties. None of them were published.

'Sunset Boulevard' - the story of Hollywood movies draped on a depressing sex affair - is an uncompromising study of American decadence displaying a sad, worn, methodical beauty few films have had since the late twenties.

I was still thought of as a kid actor even though I was in my mid twenties.

If there was any creature in American culture more derided than the young girl... I know people will argue with me about that, but everything girls are into gets ridiculed.

In my twenties, I was obsessed with what other people thought of me. In my thirties, it's about my children, my husband, my work. In my forties, it's going to be about me, and I shan't care what anyone else thinks. I can't wait!
I have this sense that I didn't really start growing up until my twenties.
I spent my late twenties and all of my thirties figuring out what I was supposed to be doing and where my home was.
