I’m 53, and the only reason I’m happy is because I don’t have to look at myself every day.

When you're 20 you worry what everyone thinks about you.

When you're 40 you don't give a damn what anybody thinks about you.

When you're 60 you realize no one ever thought about you at all.

I don’t know about that. When you’re young and good looking, everyone thinks about you. I just did my niece’s senior portraits (I do photography). She was young and beautiful, and everyone paid attention to her. When I was a teenage guy, I was considered good looking, and women paid attention to me. As we age, people pay less attention to us. Many many moons ago I wrote a little riff on milestones in life, and remembered my mom talking about how devastating it was the first time she walked past several Marines and they got quiet and respectful.
