I was always concerned with writing to my age at a particular moment. That was the way I would keep faith with the audience that supported me as I went along.

I can feel the 60S looming. In my profession I've just moved along with my age. By thinking in decades rather than whether someone's 42 or 47 you can give yourself a whole 10 years to turn yourself around in.

I'm not as far along as Jack Nicklaus was at this age but I'm trying.

To be happy we must be true to nature and carry our age along with us.

An artist must be a reactionary. He has to stand out against the tenor of the age and not go flopping along.

Error is acceptable as long as we are young but one must not drag it along into old age.
