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.

Well my son really loves wildlife. And everytime he draws a polar bear I want to tell him there probably won't any by the time... he's my age. That's kinda hard to deal with.

My parents were really really cool about supporting what I wanted to do at a really young age. I think I was about 10 when I caught the bug. They would drive me down to New York if there were auditions. When I was 12 I did this show on Broadway called 'High Society ' so we moved to New York for the run of that.

But I think it's a little different in Europe because 40 is really the best age for a woman. That's when we hit our peak and become this ripe fruit.

I've always felt that sexuality is a really slippery thing. In this day and age it tends to get categorized and labeled and I think labels are for food. Canned food.

I basically started playing violin at the age of six. That lasted about three years because my previous teacher died and the second teacher didn't really know how to successfully get me going.

While I had often said that I wanted to die in bed what I really meant was that in my old age I wanted to be stepped on by an elephant while making love.

I am rediscovering the whole sexual dimension of life at the age of 86 really. And that also means discovering the feminine. So the whole of this dimension which I had been seeking for a very long time is now sort of opening itself up to me.

I'd date someone younger or older age doesn't matter to me. Or looks really - it's all about maturity.

Working on the 'Ice Age' movies I'm really proud to be in them.

Losing both parents at a young age gave me a sense that you can't really control life - so you'd better live it while it's here. I stopped believing in a storybook existence a long time ago. All you can do is push in a direction and see what comes of it.

I was living on the wrong side of the tracks in Evanston Illinois in a home for boys. We had these Jackson 5 records. I really related to their voices - they were about my age but they were doing it.

The age thing really bugs me. Do people have more of a right to not like what I say because I'm 19?

At a young age I was interested in comic books which was really how I learnt to read. The name Cage came from a comic book character called Power Man.

I am happy being able to play roles with people my age because once you do something really mature there is no turning back.

I never took guitar lessons. I took classical piano lessons from the age of six when we lived in Holland. And when we moved to America it was just the typical thing except I was really good at it so was my brother.

What I really tried to do with Helen was make her show this sad side of her. She was married off at 16 was so young and living in this castle that can't leave because of how she looks and married to a man she hates and three times her age.
