As a young kid I wanted to be a truck driver.

I did babysit a little bit when I was young. I prefer babysitting for babies. I always loved babies. I was not as great with kids that wanted to be entertained and that wanted to talk.

You are only young once, but you can stay immature indefinitely.

The young men, they look to me for a story they can get nowhere else, a challenging risky story.

When I was very young, I remember my mother telling me about a friend of hers in Germany, a pianist who played a symphony that wasn't permitted, and the Germans came up on stage and broke every finger on her hands. I grew up with stories of Nazis breaking the fingers of Jews.

Now, for my younger viewers out there, a book is something we used to have before the internet. It’s sort of a blog for people with attention spans.

When you're a movie star and you're young, you are always playing someone who's a better fighter, a better lover, a better everything than you.

When I was younger, I was always obsessed with nails.

Young people have a marvellous faculty of either dying or adapting themselves to circumstances.

I think if you are young and you have children, you still have so much to prove. When you have children later in life, you lose a bit of that urge for working.

As a young kid, I had a great background. My grandfather was a minister; I have two uncles that were ministers, and so I had that spiritual background. I accepted Christ early as a kid.

As a young actor, people were trying to define who I was before I really knew that for myself. But I still remember thinking, 'This is what I love doing, and I hope I'm going to be able to do it forever.'

What is most appealing about young folks, after all, is the changes, not the still photograph of finished character but the movie, the soul in flux.

And so I fell devoutly asleep and slept a long time, because young people seem to need sleep more than the old, who have already slept so much and are preparing to sleep for all eternity.

When I was younger, I used to be super, super shy. I still find myself being scared of things.

I thought it was a cool parallel. Being replaced by the young thing. I know that definitely happens in Hollywood. It's harder to find good roles, and suddenly there's new girls. I'm at that age I've been warned my whole life about.

When I was young, I was the sweetheart of the press. They loved me but were kind of waiting for me to mess up. I had no skeletons in my closet, no major past to talk about.

The young bloods of the South; sons of planters, lawyers about towns, good billiard players and sportsmen, men who never did any work and never will. War suits them.. They are splendid riders, first rate shots and utterly reckless. These men must all be killed or employed by us before we can hope for peace.

Some of you young men think that war is all glamour and glory, but let me tell you, boys, it is all hell!

I'm gonna reveal something to you that's going to come as a shock: If you're a stupid young man, you're usually a stupid old man. Most people, including myself, keep repeating the same mistakes.

America is not a young land: it is old and dirty and evil. Before the settlers, before the Indians... the evil was there... waiting.

It's terrible to be young. It's terrible. Terrible

The dead might as well try to speak to the living as the old to the young.

The soil under the grass is dreaming of a young forest, and under the pavement the soil is dreaming of grass.
