Top Your 20s Quotes

Your 20s Quotes By Jill Scott

The video for 'Whatever' is kind of a documentary in a way. It's showing that love can last. Not just in your early 20s or your late 30s, but in your 50s, 60s and 70s. There's an awful myth out there that when you get married, love and lovemaking fade. It's not true. — Jill Scott

Your 20s Quotes By Olivia Wilde

You're 30: You know stuff now. Your 20s were for 'ducking up,' as my auto-correct would say, and learning from those mistakes. (For instance, never again will I convince myself that sleep is for sissies and go straight from a party to the airport. You will not 'sleep on the plane'; you'll vomit in the security line. Go to bed.) — Olivia Wilde

Your 20s Quotes By Martin Scorsese

Being a father at a later age is different from when I had my other two daughters when I was in my 20s and 30s. If you're in your 60s and you're with the kid every day, you're dealing with the mind of a child, so it opens up that childishness in you again. — Martin Scorsese

Your 20s Quotes By Rob Lowe

Here's my theory: If a person gets worldwide fame at a young age, they're emotionally frozen at that moment. For me, that's 15 to 18, so you find yourself in your mid-20s being a glorified 15-year-old. What could possibly go wrong? — Rob Lowe

Your 20s Quotes By Demi Lovato

If you're spending your entire early 20s chasing the next party,what are you running away from? — Demi Lovato

Your 20s Quotes By Frank Perdue

In your 20s, you learn. In your 30s, you earn. — Frank Perdue

Your 20s Quotes By Tom Jones

I don't think you can sing about certain things when you're a teen-ager or in your early 20s, because you haven't lived long enough. So I think living gives you character and that comes out in your voice. — Tom Jones

Your 20s Quotes By Rob Lowe

When I was young and crazy, I was young and crazy. It can be hard enough just to BE in your teens and 20s. Then add fame, money, access, and every single person telling you that you're the greatest person who ever was, and it can be a recipe for disaster. Some people literally don't survive it. — Rob Lowe

Your 20s Quotes By Brian O'Driscoll

In your mid-20s, you think you'll go on for eternity. Then a point comes where you realise that's not going to be the case. — Brian O'Driscoll

Your 20s Quotes By Sienna Guillory

I've always wanted to be older, as I think it's all right to be a little bit odd when you're out of your 20s. — Sienna Guillory

Your 20s Quotes By Garrison Keillor

When you're in your 20s, your 30s, even, you have - at least, I had - vast ambitions, and you sit around mooning about these things, and you're depressed, because you haven't done them. And it takes you a long time to come to the realization that if you can't be John Updike, well, then, you can't. — Garrison Keillor

Your 20s Quotes By Jonathan Rhys Meyers

You go through your 20s sort of like a chrysalis in many ways, stretching into your own skin and trying to bust out of a cocoon. — Jonathan Rhys Meyers

Your 20s Quotes By Eliza Dushku

When you get to your mid-20s, you start to feel responsibilities for the things that you do and the people around you. It's a cool age. — Eliza Dushku

Your 20s Quotes By Reagan Gomez-Preston

Going through your late teens and early 20s is not an easy time, especially in Hollywood. So you just learn your lessons, you make your mistakes and you move on. — Reagan Gomez-Preston

Your 20s Quotes By Erin Brady

I admired fashion but I wasn't an "iconic fashionista" myself. I think as I got more comfortable in my skin, then I got a little bit more into fashion, but it's always been something I've been interested in because you can express yourself through what you wear and your accessories and everything else. So getting into my early 20s was really started to come into myself. — Erin Brady

Your 20s Quotes By Rachel Hunter

I think 30 is a big jump from your 20s, but 40 holds no fear for me. — Rachel Hunter

Your 20s Quotes By Michael Mina

Of course you do things differently in your 30s and 40s than in your 20s. — Michael Mina

Your 20s Quotes By Paul Rust

In your 20s, you're checking your bank account to make sure you're not broke. In your 30s, you're looking at yourself and realizing you're broken. — Paul Rust

Your 20s Quotes By Rob McElhenney

If anything, when you're in your late 20s, early 30s, and then mid-30s, you're getting less attractive. — Rob McElhenney

Your 20s Quotes By Phil Wohl

We were sitting outside at our favorite Italian restaurant, Callini's, one Friday lunch when Sam revealed to me what his ideal female looked like. A few women walked by and Sam used words like "big legs" and "too big up top" to describe women that barely weighed over 100 pounds. The following bomb then pried its way out of his mouth, "I'm still in love with Winny Cooper."
I replied with shock in my voice, "Winny Cooper from The Wonder Years?"
Sam glowed, "Yeah, Winny is my ideal woman."
"You do realize that she was a little girl in that show," I said trying to awaken Sam's better judgment.
He started laughing, "Winnie was a babe. I had a huge crush on her."
I needed clarification: "You do realize that you were in your 20s when that show was on. So, that would mean that you had a crush on a 12 year-old. — Phil Wohl

Your 20s Quotes By John Belushi

In your 20s, you feel like you're indestructible ... In your 30s, you think ... I'll be around here a little longer, so I'm going to take better care of myself. — John Belushi

Your 20s Quotes By Naomi Watts

I think whether you've got children or not you're just more aware of others as you get out of your 20s. — Naomi Watts

Your 20s Quotes By Suze Orman

When you are starting out in your 20s, it is natural to think about all that you will have and do once you start making money, and making more money. That gives money way too much power over your life. It's not about how much you make, but the life that you make with the money you have. — Suze Orman

Your 20s Quotes By Ann Brashares

I look back on my 20s. It's supposed to be the prime of your life, the most vital, the most beautiful. But you're making your critical decisions and sometimes your most critical mistakes. — Ann Brashares

Your 20s Quotes By Kim Wilde

You're full of insecurities in your 20s - most of the time your heart's being broken, you're having a difficult time finding out who the hell you are, and I was trying to do that in the full glare of the public. — Kim Wilde

Your 20s Quotes By Tom Hughes

When you're in your early 20s, a lot of characters can be one or two dimensional. You want a role to substantiate the drama, as opposed to actually analyzing the psychology of a human being. That's what drew me to acting, particularly the contradictions in people. — Tom Hughes

Your 20s Quotes By Mariska Hargitay

When I was in my early 20s, I had my hair permed. Bad idea! It turned into total frizz. My advice to women is, if you have nice hair already, don't get a perm, leave your hair alone! — Mariska Hargitay

Your 20s Quotes By Ken Livingstone

What defines someone's music taste is their teens and early 20s. It's that combination of your sexual awakening and the music of the time, it fixes you forever. — Ken Livingstone

Your 20s Quotes By Iman

The difference between rearing a child in your 20s and one in your 50s is one of patience. — Iman

Your 20s Quotes By Chris Pine

Life flies by, and it's easy to get lost in the blur. In adolescence, it's 'How do I fit in?' In your 20s, it's 'What do I want to do?' In your 30s, 'Is this what I'm meant to do?' I think the trick is living the questions. Not worrying so much about what's ahead but rather sitting in the grey area - being OK with where you are. — Chris Pine

Your 20s Quotes By F Scott Fitzgerald

I'll drink your champagne. I'll drink every drop of it, I don't care if it kills me. — F Scott Fitzgerald

Your 20s Quotes By Joan Blondell

In the 20s, you were a face. And that was enough. In the 30s, you also had to be a voice. And your voice had to match your face, if you can imagine that. — Joan Blondell

Your 20s Quotes By Cecelia Ahern

Ruby: ... What's so good about being 20? I call them the materialist years. The years we get distracted by all the bullshit. Then we cop on when we hit our 30s and spend those years trying to make up for the 20s. But your 40s? Those years are for enjoying it.
Rosie: Hmmm good point. What are the 50s for?
Ruby: Fixing what you fucked up in your 40s.
Rosie: Great. Looking forward to it. — Cecelia Ahern

Your 20s Quotes By Jane Kaczmarek

For me, there's a big difference between having a baby in your 20s and having a baby in your 40s. — Jane Kaczmarek

Your 20s Quotes By Aaron Levie

If you're in your early 20s and you're hanging out with a bunch of other people in their early 20s, nobody has a sense of the kinds of problems that real 'workers' run into every day. They're running into a completely different set of problems like 'What's the party going on right now that I should be going to?' — Aaron Levie

Your 20s Quotes By Michael Patrick King

Only two things change when you get older: the energy in your voice and the time of night you feel it's appropriate to call someone. In your 20s, people call at 2 a.m. and yell, 'Are you up?' into the answering machine. Now, someone calls after 8 p.m., and my boyfriend is like, 'Who is that? Who could be calling at this hour?' — Michael Patrick King

Your 20s Quotes By Mike Lookinland

The problem for me was, I lived my childhood in my 20s. You should really try to live your childhood when you're a child, because if you do it when you're 26, it can be dangerous. — Mike Lookinland

Your 20s Quotes By Patrick Stump

When you're a little kid, you just like music that makes you happy and is fun. As you get older, you reach college or your 20s and you decide that music should be challenging and all art should be smart. So you start to think it makes you like high art more to put down things you consider low art. I don't even think things are low art. — Patrick Stump

Your 20s Quotes By Gerard Way

To me, nothing feels more like being dead than being in your 20s and having no direction in your life. — Gerard Way

Your 20s Quotes By Faith Prince

I have a very 'theatre' face. I have what they call a wide mask. I probably would have been a big film star in the '20s with the silent films where they used a lot of key lighting, and make-up carved out your face. — Faith Prince

Your 20s Quotes By Kate Walsh

Age is just a number. Unless, that is, you live in Hollywood, where there's this notion that if you haven't hit it big by your 20s, you may as well hit the road. — Kate Walsh

Your 20s Quotes By Chris Pine

In adolescence, it's 'How do I fit in?' In your 20s, 'What do I want to do?' Your 30s, 'Is this what I'm meant to do?' I think the trick is living the questions. Not worrying so much about what's ahead but rather sitting in the gray area; being okay with where you are. If you can find the parity between 'Where am I going?' and 'What's my purpose?' you've got two pretty solid pillars for your coffee table. — Chris Pine

Your 20s Quotes By Juan Pablo Di Pace

I never lost my dreams in my 20s, and I know that sounds corny, but it's incredibly important to never let go of what you really want in your life. — Juan Pablo Di Pace

Your 20s Quotes By Ellen Lupton

You have to be prepared to give creative work 150%. I hear a lot of young people talking about life/work balance, which I think is great when you're in your 30s. If you're in your 20s and already talking about that, I don't think you will achieve your goals. If you really want to build a powerful career, and make an impact, then you have to be prepared to put in blood, sweat, and tears. — Ellen Lupton

Your 20s Quotes By Erin Wasson

The older I get, I'm definitely getting pulled towards the West Coast, because it's a different quality of life. New York is great when you're in your early 20s and you're running around and it's really fun, but it's a place for me to get things done. — Erin Wasson

Your 20s Quotes By Melissa De Sousa

When you're in your 20s, you're a little more carefree; you're single. You have a very different way of looking at the world and experiencing the world. But later in your 30s, when you have children, a career, career obstacles, mortgages, car payments and relationships, you have to negotiate; that's a very different life. — Melissa De Sousa

Your 20s Quotes By James Avery

You are only an actor if you absolutely love it and can not do anything else. Starving for your art is great in your 20s, but it's not so great at 35. It has to be absolute love. You can't worry about being a movie star or anything else. Just love. That's it. — James Avery

Your 20s Quotes By Eva Mendes

Maybe something that's acceptable in your teens or 20s is unacceptable in your 30s or 40s. — Eva Mendes

Your 20s Quotes By James Dyson

I've obviously used fans - I wouldn't say all my life, because we couldn't afford them when I was young, but from my 20s and onwards we've had to use fans. And I've always loathed them. Everything about them. The way you adjust them, getting them at the angle you want. Carrying them. Cleaning them. The danger of putting your finger in them. — James Dyson

Your 20s Quotes By Evangeline Lilly

In your 20s you can be pretty, but you don't accomplish real beauty until you find wisdom and depth. — Evangeline Lilly

Your 20s Quotes By Ian McShane

When you're in your early 20s, you go ahead and do everything. And it's very hard to judge yourself. — Ian McShane

Your 20s Quotes By Tim Heidecker

The idea of trust-fund guys who live in Brooklyn in their 30s is really interesting to me. There's a time and a place where that kind of bohemian lifestyle is appropriate, soon after college, in your 20s. But there are people still living that many years later; they haven't evolved to the next phase. — Tim Heidecker

Your 20s Quotes By Naomi Watts

In your 20s - and these are generalizations of course - I feel like I didn't care about as many things or as many people, or even myself, as much. There's more recklessness and more ruthlessness; you're not as considerate of how things land with other people I think. — Naomi Watts

Your 20s Quotes By Jaime Pressly

I used to go around the country performing. I was in my 20s; I had no fear. But then I had a baby, and all of sudden, your life, your world changes; you change. — Jaime Pressly

Your 20s Quotes By Campbell Scott

When you're young, you don't care about your parents and what they're doing. But then you get to your 20s, and you start watching their movies. And then you become an actor, as I did late in college, and then you're really watching them. And they were really very good. — Campbell Scott

Your 20s Quotes By Staceyann Chin

It's so funny the world we live in now. The years where you are most fertile, those are also the fertile years for career and personal growth. And so you're not encouraged to get pregnant in your 20s. But the 30s are when the biology kind of has you by the ovaries, so to speak. — Staceyann Chin

Your 20s Quotes By Salma Hayek

If you're paralyzing your face in your 20s and 30s, you're not exercising the muscles that give it strength. My feeling is, laugh, cry, move your face. — Salma Hayek

Your 20s Quotes By Jeremy Coon

You get married, you start having responsibilities. It's really hard if your dream hasn't caught some traction by the time you're in your mid-to-late 20s. You want to provide for your family. I would say, the majority of people fall in that boat. They want to do something, but life gets in the way. And they're like "well, I'm going to get this job, and have safety and security." — Jeremy Coon

Your 20s Quotes By Melissa Febos

There is a moment in your 20s when you know what it means to love rightly, but not how to do it, and then you begin to learn. — Melissa Febos

Your 20s Quotes By Brendon Urie

I think, you know, when you're a teenager, sometimes your emotions are a little bit more drastic than maybe when you're in your 20s. You sort of level out a little bit. — Brendon Urie

Your 20s Quotes By Dennis Quaid

When I was in my mid-20s, I traveled a lot around the world, and the question I had for everyone I talked to was, 'What is your conception of God?' I found that everybody basically felt the same: God is within and without. He's in everything. — Dennis Quaid

Your 20s Quotes By Louis C.K.

There's people that say "It's not fair You have all that stuff." I wasn't born with it. It was a horrible process to get to this. It took me my whole life. If you're new at this- and by "new at it." I mean 15 years in, or even 20- you're just starting to grow traction. Young musicians believe they should be able to throw a band together and be famous, and anything that's in their way is unfair and evil. What are you, in your 20s, you picked up a guitar? Give it a minute. — Louis C.K.

Your 20s Quotes By Zosia Mamet

The lighthearted moments of 'Girls' are really not speckled throughout and that to me is just super exciting, to be able to delve into the darkness that you are greeted with in your early 20s and the fear and what that makes you do, the places that you can potentially go with that. — Zosia Mamet

Your 20s Quotes By Daniel Wu

In my 20s, I could just power through stuff and be fine, but now, in your 40s? It's kind of like Kobe Bryant. He plays basketball a little bit differently than he did when he first started out. — Daniel Wu

Your 20s Quotes By Roz Chast

It's no accident that most ads are pitched to people in their 20s and 30s. Not only are they so much cuter than their elders...but they are less likely to have gone through the transformative process of cleaning out their deceased parents' stuff. Once you go through that, you can never look at *your* stuff in the same way. You start to look at your stuff a little postmortemistically. If you've lived more than two decades as an adult consumer, you probably have quite the accumulation, even if you're not a hoarder...I'm not saying I never buy stuff, because I absolutely do. Maybe I'm less naive about the joys of accumulation. — Roz Chast

Your 20s Quotes By Roddy Doyle

If you're from Dublin, for example, chances are you live with your family, if you're lucky enough to, right up to the mid-20s. And most of the people I know, when they finally sort of set off on their own, they don't stray all that far. — Roddy Doyle

Your 20s Quotes By Jessica Marais

I'm looking forward to playing the meatier roles you get in your 30s. The early 20s can be a hard time for an actress - it's always bombshell or romantic lead. The good stuff you can really sink your teeth into comes later. — Jessica Marais

Your 20s Quotes By Gail Sheehy

Be willing to shed parts of your previous life. For example, in our 20s, we wear a mask; we pretend we know more than we do. We must be willing, as we get older, to shed cocktail party phoniness and admit, 'I am who I am.' — Gail Sheehy

Your 20s Quotes By Daniel Wu

In my 20s, it was easy. In your 40s, it's a lot more challenging. You have to look at it like you're an actor, but you're also a professional athlete. You have to train. — Daniel Wu

Your 20s Quotes By Katie Robinson

Fear holds us back from living the lives we want. Use your 20s to make bold decisions, follow different paths, learn from heartbreak, and figure out who you are. When you're 30, do you want to look back at the same boring job, the stale relationship that isn't working, and no stamps in your passport? If you want something different, if you want a life that is filled with experiences, if you want to learn and grow, if you want to make a difference ... conquer the fears, believe in yourself, and just do it. You may be questioning something right now. You may be battling thoughts in your mind about taking a leap. Ask yourself what you have to lose if you leap. Ask yourself what kind of stories you want to have. Ask yourself if you're worth it, if you deserve it. — Katie Robinson

Your 20s Quotes By Nigel Cole

I think your 20s are the hardest part of life. I mean, everyone goes on about how hard it is to be a teenager, but actually I think it's tougher to be in your 20s because you're expected to be a grownup and expected to earn your own living and be successful and I think you feel like a kid still. — Nigel Cole

Your 20s Quotes By Tabatha Coffey

It's a good giggle to look back at yourself in your 20s. You thought you were so fierce and fabulous, and it's just embarrassing. — Tabatha Coffey

Your 20s Quotes By Tori Amos

When you're in your 20s, there's maybe a little room for you to not be at the top of your artistic game, if you look good on a magazine cover. When you're not on the cover of the magazines anymore, then you realize that the work has to be great. — Tori Amos

Your 20s Quotes By Ben Affleck

When you are in your 20s and you're not married with kids, you're having fun. But when you're in your 30s and you're not married and don't have kids, you begin to develop a Peter Pan complex. As you grow older, you have more responsibilities and you have to step up to them. — Ben Affleck

Your 20s Quotes By Eddie Vedder

At a certain point, you realize you have a responsibility more behind yourself and your need for adrenaline. I'm glad I did things in my 20s that were more reckless. — Eddie Vedder

Your 20s Quotes By Freddie Prinze Jr.

It's so easy to be selfish in your 20s and not want to sacrifice. — Freddie Prinze Jr.

Your 20s Quotes By Dan Byrd

I've heard this before from people: early 20s kind of screws with your head a little bit because you're transitioning into adulthood and actually becoming an adult with responsibilities and paying bills. So all of a sudden, it's like you're responsible now. — Dan Byrd

Your 20s Quotes By LeAnn Rimes

I had some wonderful times in my 20s, but your 20s are hard. — LeAnn Rimes

Your 20s Quotes By Sheena Easton

When you're single and in your 20s, you throw on a pair of jeans and look fabulous. — Sheena Easton

Your 20s Quotes By Ashley Tisdale

I think it's so important, as young women, to have relationships, especially when you're in your early 20s. But it's always so important to focus on yourself. — Ashley Tisdale

Your 20s Quotes By Maxwell

In your 20s, you're just a sketch of what you think you're trying to be. — Maxwell

Your 20s Quotes By Herbie Hancock

Back in the day for me was a great time in my life - I was in my 20s. Most people refer to their experiences in their twenties as being a highlight in their life. It's a period of time where you often develop your own way, your own sound, your own identity, and that happened with me, when I was with a great teacher - Miles Davis. — Herbie Hancock

Your 20s Quotes By Hanya Yanagihara

I was interested about how relationships change as you get older. You are great friends in your 20s. In your 30s, you get married. Your 40s are all about your kids. In your 50s, you get divorced, and your friendships become primary again. — Hanya Yanagihara

Your 20s Quotes By Patrick Marber

When you're in your early 20s your love life seems to explode every 20 minutes or so. By the time you've reached your thirties, it is every five or ten years. — Patrick Marber
