Ageism works in both directions. As a teenager in the public eye, people would talk condescendingly to me. When you get older there's this feeling that you have to start carving up your face and body. Right now I'm in the middle ground - I think women in their thirties are taken seriously.

A woman past forty should make up her mind to be young; not her face.

I don't like the way young people write and talk about the old. I don't like their attitude, which, if they weren't young and therefore bright and vibrant, would be called outdated.

Older people, who just happen to have been around longer, may not be cleverer than the young, but they have seen more.

The New Age, I think, is a term that is well laid to rest.

A 'new thinker', when studied closely, is merely a man who does not know what other people have thought.

Unfortunately, there are mental invalids of every age who exist on other people's terms. It's lazy for older persons to let others make up their minds for them. People have to overcome that.

The traits the word 'childish' addresses are seen so often in adults that we should abolish this age-discriminatory word when it comes to criticizing behavior associated with irresponsibility and irrational thinking.

I often joke that 100 years from now I hope people are saying, 'Dang, she looks good for her age!'

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