I definitely don't look my age. So I actively look for roles that will help people change their perception of me.

Character roles definitely age better than your ingenues. You don't get to keep doing that.

I've played a lot of younger, more coming-of-age roles as well as roles that aren't such an imposing physical presence.

I don't really think about what's 'age appropriate' for my audience because I think they can handle quite a bit, but I do try to think about what's honest and true to my characters who have grown up in situations where they've been taught to handle these things very carefully and that they're very powerful.

Age is the first limitation on roles that I've ever had to encounter, and I hit that awhile ago.

The older I get, the more I'm starting to believe in myself.

I have been really lucky to play roles younger than myself for most of my career.

I can't worry about whether roles will be there for me when I'm older.

I'm conscious of age, but I'm more suspicious of it than anything.

I hope to find the roles that are age appropriate but not yearning to be younger, or parenting ad nauseam.
