I'm not one of those actors who lies about their age.

The fact of the matter is that we're all aging, and there's this stigma that older actresses don't work as much as younger actresses, and I don't think that's true anymore.

People assume actresses are afraid to get older; the truth is the roles get a whole lot more compelling once you're too old to play dumb.

You know what makes me feel old? When I see girls who are 20-something, or the new crop of actresses, and think, Aren't we kind of the same age?

Every actress has to face the facts there are younger, more beautiful girls right behind you. Once you've gone beyond the vanity of the business, you'll take on the tough roles.

When I was growing up, you'd read about actors, and they'd never tell you their age and how much they made a year as part of their definition.

I'm finding a lot of actors my age now who are a bit more like me, and not as posh or brought up in a certain way. There's now people of all sorts of kinds of backgrounds.

There are fewer and fewer new roles for actresses as they get older. And that's not right.

I follow Elle Fanning's career. I really like to follow actors who are a similar age to me. Just to see what they're up to.
