I never had little brothers, so I was totally not used to hearing a lot of cussing at a young age! I learned what pull my finger meant the hard way.

My sister and I shared a bedroom our entire lives and I believe she discovered the Beatles when she was about 11 and I am four years younger. So from the age of 7 until 17 we had nothing but Beatles paraphernalia in our room, even those little stuffed Beatles that went on stands that are dressed as the Sgt. Pepper band.

But look, I was born in 1956, the peak year for births in US history. I think I am very representative of many of the thought processes my generation have been through and, by and large, people of my age have had their imprint planted on the consciousness of western society for a long time.

I basically get stereotyped a lot in terms of being a girl and writing chick music for teenage girls or something.

Children under five are the poorest age group in America, and one in four infants, toddlers and preschoolers are poor during the years of greatest brain development.

Everyone talks about age, but it is not about age. It is about work ethic. Winning never gets old.

Age is a terrible avenger. The lessons of life give you so much to work with, but by the time you've got all this great wisdom, you do not get to be young anymore.

Science cannot tell theology how to construct a doctrine of creation, but you can not construct a doctrine of creation without taking account of the age of the universe and the evolutionary character of cosmic history.

I came of age believing that, no matter what happened, I would always be able to support myself.

It is not classified as a pagan religion. The so-called New Age activities and this are not called religions and therefore do not come under the prohibition of mingling church and state that we have in this country.

No sex, age, or condition is above or below the absolute necessity of modesty but without it one vastly beneath the rank of man.

People tend to become more emotionally intelligent as they age and mature.
