Sometimes you see women that don't realize that age is changing your style, and they don't change.

There's a terrible truth for many women in the picture business: Aging typically takes its toll and means fewer and less desirable roles.

I wonder if it is harder for a woman who was beautiful to get older or a woman who was never looked at.

We can't shame women for trying to be beautiful. That's so mean and unfair. But there's a part of me that thinks it's really sad, too. It's very complicated.

I realized I was an attractive older woman who never wanted to settle down.

For the moment I prefer to be a beautiful woman of my age than try desperately to look 30.

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.

This idea that being youthful is the only thing that's beautiful or attractive simply isn't true. I don't want to be an 'ageless beauty.' I want to be a woman who is the best I can be at my age.

Growing old gracefully used to begin at about 35, but today women prefer to 'stay young gratefully' with thanks to designers, beauticians and plastic surgeons.

Thank God we're not like America. Everyone wants to look like they're 20. In Europe we admire grown-up women; I think men revere older women.
