I'm always concerned that I'm insulting the elder statesmen on the set by my crass behavior.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People are always casting me for what they call my 'authority.'
Old age is an insult. It's like being smacked.
I have a wonderful respect for old people.
But in our age the appeal to authority is weak, and I am of my age.
I just remember that pivotal moment when you're a young adult, and you realize that these authority figures are human beings, too, and they're figuring out their lives just as you are, and they're flawed.
Those placed in the position which I now occupy, commonly feel concern about their worthiness to receive the great honour which has been done them.
I think the older you are, the more you're going to cling to the printed word as being sacred.
I believe in a lively disrespect for most forms of authority.
As I grow older, I pay less attention to what men say. I just watch what they do.
I have a big problem when the sanctimonious, holier than thou congressmen and women go on national television for six hours and beat somebody up with a stick, and not because I'm 'Ms. Manners.' That's not what bothers me. People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
