Life begins at 40 - but so do fallen arches, rheumatism, faulty eyesight, and the tendency to tell a story to the same person, three or four times.
Helen Rowland
When I was 40, my doctor advised me that a man in his 40s shouldn`t play tennis. I heeded his advice carefully and could hardly wait until I reached 50 to start again.
Hugo Black
Let me tell you something that we Israelis have against Moses. He took us 40 years through the desert in order to bring us to the one spot in the Middle East that has no oil!
Golda Meir
I know one day I`ll be considered too old. I think 40-year-old women actually look more healthy and fit than some girls in their 20s. I`ve met women who have way better bodies in their 40s because they`ve been working on them for all these years.
Claudia Schiffer
I grew up with an impatience with the anti-scientific. So I`m a bit miffed with our current love affair with all things Eastern. If I sneeze on the set, 40 people hand me echinacea. But I`d no sooner take that than eat a pencil. Maybe that`s why I took up...
Hugh Laurie
I`ve honestly not been too aware of my age until I went to the doctor for a full check-up. He said I had the heart of a young man - "but you`re not young, you`re 40".
Sean Connery
(on the simplicity of his acting) I think that came over the years, watching actors I love, wondering what it is about their performance that`s disturbing to me. There`s a series of etchings of a bull that Picasso did. There are like 40 of them, and the f...
Ron Rifkin
I didn`t get Will & Grace" (1998) until I was almost 40. Had I listened to everybody else who kept saying, `Oh, there`s too much competition, you`ll never get an agent, you`ll never get a part, 90 percent of actors are out of work," if I`d listened to tha...
Megan Mullally
On the advantages of being an actress who is months from turning 40: "They`ve lived longer, they`re more confident about their choices and they don`t have to be hip and cool anymore, which I think is a godsend - you make really bad choices when you are tr...
Jodie Foster
Drugs and creativity don`t go together for me. Like everybody in the `60s, I had one acid trip and some cocaine and hash, you know, the stuff everyone did. But it`s been 30 or 40 years since I bothered to do that. What I need is clarity. Even not having e...
David Cronenberg
Choosing these kinds of intense roles is becoming sort of a bad habit. Playing the average manic-depressive woman who`s hitting 40 - yep, that`d be me. Bring it on! But I think what it is, really, is that [Hollywood] sees you do certain roles and says, `O...
Robin Wright
I [showed] my tits and teeth. I`m useless at it. About 40 per cent of success as an actor is now based on whether you`re good at being interviewed and how you conduct yourself. And I`m really bad at that. On the Vanity Fair premiere
Romola Garai
I didn`t realize that everything was supposed to fall apart at 40. So I just slid past 40 and 50. When you`re an outsider and not paying attention to the rules the hurdles are a little lower.
Susan Sarandon

Susan Sarandon
I could never really see the point of being high-profile when I loathed it so much. Every now and then, you can go to something like an Oscars ceremony, but nobody is holding a gun to your head. The rules were the same 40 years ago as they are now. You ca...
Julie Christie
[Talking about why she will not move to Hollywood to further her film career]: "I could never live there. They are obsessed with youth and beauty even more than us. There is this thing in America where actresses reach 40 and go mad. The film industry want...
Monica Bellucci
I live in a town where if you`re a woman over 40, you`re really passé. In the movies a Sean Connery can get Catherine Zeta-Jones as a love interest. But Shirley MacLaine can`t have Billy Crudup as a boyfriend.
JoBeth Williams
I can`t even imagine what Hank Garland would have become had he not been in that accident. You`re talking about 40 years of lost innovation that could have come only from him.
Brad Paisley
About Madonna: "I was in love with the Hindu moment and her yoga body. I used to think 40 was old. Now i think: Hey, 40`s hot!" (In Style magazine, Sept/2006)

The "I just woke up" face of your 30`s is the "all day long" face of your 40`s
