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.

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`m finding now in my 40s that the less makeup I wear, the better. I think softer is better as you get older. With everything. Except men.
Kim Cattrall
(on being typecast) If you look at the careers of people like Anthony Quinn, Cagney, even Tommy Lee Jones, they all were cast as villains. There comes a certain point in your life, in your late 30s, early 40s, when suddenly that can change. Maybe a direct...
Robert Davi
I think in my 40s, right around the time of The Turning Point (1977), that I began to address myself more to the future. See, I wasn`t afraid of getting old, because I never had the problems the other actresses my age had. I was never a great beauty. I wa...
Shirley MacLaine
[on why he thinks he would have regretted winning the James Bond role in 1986] It`s a role better suited to someone who is in his 40s, old enough to have the confidence and the sophistication and strength to be able to stand there and just let the moment ...
Pierce Brosnan
I would have loved to have been a `40s studio director like Vincente Minnelli. You ended up with a real diverse career. Now you don`t get a call from Darryl Zanuck saying, `Come do this movie on Monday.` So you have to do it on your own.
Richard Linklater
There is something about Cuba. There`s no doubt. There`s something romantic about the place, even now with everything going on. Just look at the music, among other things. Some of the greatest music ever came out of Cuba in the `50s, `40s and `30s.
Matt Dillon
Often when you get a really good script, and you receive the new pages, you see that the entire thing has been dumbed down. Films in the `30s and `40s, that were huge blockbusters, were very sophisticated in their language, and the ideas they brought. The...
Connie Nielsen
Young people in my generation were sort of in lockstep, and it wasn`t just the `40s, either. In the `30s and in the `50s it was the same. No one ever dropped out unless he got sick or got kicked out.
John Knowles
You go back to those films of the `40s and `50s and hear the dialogue, the way the people played off each other, the wordplay. I think we`ve really lost that in movies.
Clive Owen
Women were real box office stars in the `40s, more so than men. People loved to see women`s films. I think it was better then, except for the studio system.
Gwyneth Paltrow
When you`re a woman in your 40s, it`s not the best time to do films, because there really aren`t that many roles. Then you reach 50 and there are more roles again. Mother parts.
Shirley Knight
When you were growing up in the 30s, 20s, of course the 40s, all black people at least in the Washington, D.C., area were required to live among themselves.
Albert Arena
When I look out at the audience at some of our shows, I think we are reaching a younger audience... I see lots of people in their 30s and 40s, but I also see a lot of people in their young and middle teens, and that`s definitely reassuring.
Alex Lifeson
What I took back, because of my exposure to the Jewish music of the 30s and the 40s in my upbringing with my father, was that kind of theatrical songwriting. It was always a part of my character. This desire to make people laugh.
Pete Townshend
We see such potential, such possibilities. That`s where our energies are, ... If Hannibal had this talent here in the 20s, 30s and 40s, it can have it again.
John North
We didn`t use makeup and wigs to have Peri and Teri look like Sara and Yvonne, but the roles were challenging because they had to portray them in three stages of their lives, from their 20s, 40s to their 60s,
Craig Anderson
They do a lot of misdirection and fake the ball real well. It`s almost impossible to blitz or pick up on any particular keys. It`s a very potent offense. They`re probably averaging in the low 40s (scoring). They`re solid on the line, got great skill posit...
Anthony Black
There`s that thing about the `80s, the `40s and the `60s, and the `30s, the `50s and the `70s. Something about those odd decades in this century that weren`t too pleasant.
Paul Kantner
There are so many venues in which stars are exposed today, that we just know much more and the studios don`t have the control over stars like they used to, in the 30s, 40s, and 50s.
Mary Hart
The way unions are presently structured is often anachronistic. They don`t want to recognize that the world has moved on. Management isn`t treating employees like they were in the 1930s or `40s.
Rick Berman
Now that I`m taking some time off from school, I`ve been reading a lot to make sure I don`t forget everything. It`s mostly classics and nonfiction accounts from actors, directors and writers from the `40s and `50s.
Fred Savage
My mother used to take my brother and me to get any books we wanted, but they were second hand books published in the `30s and `40s. I liked scary books.
Alejandro Amenabar
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.
