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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There are fewer and fewer new roles for actresses as they get older. And that's not right.
Fighting the ageing process just doesn't work. I think that actresses, ultimately, are responsible for the faces we give to women.
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.
I don't see myself as having to compete with younger actresses; I don't feel that.
In the U.S., with very few exceptions, actresses older than 35 are simply discarded.
There is this thing in America where actresses reach 40 and go mad. The film industry wants all these young people.
I got old the way that women who aren't actresses grow old.
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?
I don't know what the secret to longevity as an actress is. It's more than talent and beauty. Maybe it's the audience seeing itself in you.
Certain type of actresses get younger instead of older. I always say, 'Only ingenues age.'
