I stopped working a few years ago because I just lost a spark that I'd had before. I thought I'd just try writing, and maybe start directing, but I did it very quietly.
Dustin Hoffman

Michael died five years ago this January, and the first thing that really struck me about the script was the part about her peeling off from the funeral and just getting into a rowboat and having a real kind of cry where nobody was.
Judi Dench

People in England were coming up to me, saying, My mother and father turned me on to your music. This happened to me 20 years ago. When I was 40 they were saying that.
Roy Ayers

I have everything I had 20 years ago, only it's all a little lower.
Gypsy Rose Lee

One thing that took a while to really adjust to was, you do it for the the art, for the money, for being together and having a good time, but you do it for all those people out there who really care about the show. We are now talking about a show we did over 20 years ago.
Steve Kanaly

Five years ago we were working on a new album when my health began failing.

Well, a few years ago I think I could have given you a more enthusiastic answer about that but in the last few years, for the first time in my life, I really haven't listened to much music. I used to work with music on and now I don't.
Ann Beattie

I do tend to take time off. A year and a half ago I went to film school, and before that I had taken years off at a time to be involved politically or this or that.
Sarah Polley

When I last went to Italy, over two years ago, I had a lot more trouble understanding the language than I used to when I lived there for a year. I used to speak very little but I could understand very well.

I shot this wonderful picture called American Saint a couple of years ago, which is still looking for release.

We regard those other cultures, such as that of India, where many people live and believe and behave much as they did 1,000 or 2,000 years ago, as undeveloped.

Yes, in fact, it's hard to believe this, but it was almost 18 years ago when I first got the idea.
Tim LaHaye

About a year ago, out of the blue, I just wrote a bunch of songs.
Rick Moranis

My fans are grown now. They are not expecting me to do the bubblegum pop I did 20 years ago, even though it was pretty substantive. It was saying more than bubblegum pop says today. I am continuing where I left off.
Irene Cara

I long ago came to the conclusion that all life is 6 to 5 against.
Damon Runyon
