In my business, guys may age, but it's not even a question they're valued. But women my age are supposed to disappear.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There's a terrible truth for many women in the picture business: Aging typically takes its toll and means fewer and less desirable roles.
I'm really a strong advocate of ageing because the messages that the media and advertising give to women infuriate me: ie that it's a bad thing to get old.
Some women say as they get older they're no longer noticed: they disappear. Men, for instance, don't see them. Nobody wants them. That doesn't happen to me because of who I am. Not because I'm any more scintillating company, but because I'm Ruth Rendell.
I think sometimes in relationships, ladies like having a man who takes care of them, nurtures them. If you can't find it in a man your own age, you find it in somebody who is older.
Age is how we determine how valuable you are.
Sometimes you see women that don't realize that age is changing your style, and they don't change.
Age is a chronological number. That's all. There is plenty of time for my life afterwards. I'm still a young woman.
The odds are not in your favor the older you get, especially if you're a woman in this business.
I feel like women are asked their age more than men.
You always need younger guys if you're going to be successful in the long term.
