I definitely had a weird thing of being attracted to older men. Never my family friends, never my dad's friends.
Alia Shawkat
When you're a young boy, you're looking at older men for role modelling. Before I loved De Niro, I loved Clint Eastwood; I loved John Wayne. And James Bond.
Ben Mendelsohn
I love older men.
Cameron Diaz
We Latins make splendid lovers and splendid older men.
Cesar Romero
When I got signed, I had just turned 16. I felt like I had to continuously have these confrontations with older men who were doubting my ideas because I was a woman, because I was 16.
Charli XCX
I think everything that played a part in my life growing up is in my music. Being homeless, living in shelters, dealing with over-aged, older men that hit on me... all that is in the music.
Cupcakke
I started dating older men, and I would fall in love with them. I thought they could teach me about life.
Daphne Zuniga
Don Quixote is one that comes to mind in comparison to mine, in that they both involve journeys undertaken by older men. That is unusual, because generally the hero of a journey story is very young.
David Guterson
I find older men more attractive than boys. I need a man who can teach me a thing or two.
Donatella Versace
Older men get lovable, and older women get monstrous.
Eileen Myles
Older men are wiser and that is much cooler to me. I've never been one for going out clubbing or getting off my head, so I always gravitated to men who were similar. They just tended to be older. I think you have more of an adventure with an older man. And a happier journey.
Emilia Fox
I was part of the first generation of girls and women to be educated and go to grammar school even if we didn't have much money. Then that generation went, 'OK, great', and went into medicine or the police, and hit this wall of discrimination from older men who hadn't caught up.
Helen Mirren
Older men declare war. But it is the youth that must fight and die.
Herbert Hoover
The older we women grow, the more clearly we see what men really are: hypocrites, boasters, he-goats. The older men grow, the more they doll us up with every perfection.
Jean Giraudoux
I went bald when I was 18. My father cried. He cried about many things. But it allowed me to play older men in summer stock.
Jeffrey Tambor
Older men in my family - back to my grandpa - were basically completely bald.
Jens Lekman
I had people when I was younger trying to feel me up. Older men. I just told them to get lost.
Jeremy Irons
I have gone out with younger men, and they're great fun; they've got enthusiasm. Stamina! But I think older men are much better lovers.
Jerry Hall
Validation comes to us in two ways: through trials we overcome, and through the words of older men.
John Eldredge
Young men feel they have much to prove; older men, as a very general rule, tend to feel more comfortable in their skins.
Jonathan Miles
I never had one of those glorious young bodies that make older men and women weep. So I don't tend to look back with nostalgia or yearn for what I've lost. Because it was never all that.
What older men and younger women have in common is they are both suffering from different insecurities. She is looking for someone to make her feel safe, and he is looking for someone who doesn't answer back and is a trophy.
I date older men, and I date younger men. I have no rules about that.
I'm not saying it's easy, and it's definitely harder for women. Because there is definitely a double standard about gorgeous older men, and it's different for older women.
I guess there are some women who like older men, but it's a smaller group.
We are reminded repeatedly, often by older men, that western civilization has died on the altar of social media.
I'll never forget when I was running, when I was knocking on doors for my first office as I served as a Cleveland city councilwoman and to have older men say to me, 'Can you do this and be a wife and a mother?' Excuse me? Women make the world go round. We multitask... But to have that kind of condescending question asked of me in modern times.
I think with social media and men wanting to look good - since honestly a lot of the older men are going out with younger women - they do want to use Botox.
I have nothing against younger women and older men on screen. What is sad is that so many women over 40 who have so much to give aren't being considered to play opposite men their own age or younger.
If you are a 19-year-old woman, there are very specific things that directors and the people in positions of power in the industry - who tend to be older men - are going to want you to be and do. They are not going to want some chatty, difficult, slightly spoilt girl.
I think it's a not-uncommon experience for gay boys, young men, and even older men to spend a lot of time in the company of women.
There are older men with younger women but you don't see a lot of older women with younger men. There are some women who have been able to do it but not often.
