I am constantly playing younger. I have a baby face. I'm only five-foot-one, so I am used to playing younger. I love it.

— Stella Maeve

One of the things that make our version that much more heartbreaking is that even though I am playing a 24-year-old I look much younger. I look like a child.

— Rooney Mara

I like to play unattractive people who think they're pretty. You can do what you want, but I prefer to look interesting.

— Amy Sedaris

I think that at 21, I still look like I'm 17 years old, so I feel like I'm going to be playing teenagers for a while, and that's a very relatable stage in a teenage life for a female - that kind of rambunctious stage.

— Willa Holland

I don't pass judgment on anybody, but personally, I prefer a more natural look. I think it's helping my longevity in my career because I'm playing my age.

— Andie MacDowell

When I was 13, I looked like I could play 16, and I wasn't mature enough to play 16.

— Hailee Steinfeld

I'm 26 years old. I don't need to be playing 16 anymore.

— Mena Suvari

✗Opposing Perspectives

I'm 24. I think when I was 18, 19, I had a problem with it because I wanted to look older and more womanly. I look in the mirror and I don't feel or look 14 to myself, regardless of what other people think. I'm fine with it and it really doesn't matter what age I'm playing.

— Alison Lohman

I've always played way older than my age. It's the experience behind my eyes or something.

— Jamie Anne Allman

You can play older than yourself. You can play younger than yourself up to a point, and then that just becomes impossible because you carry a weight with you that you can't shift, unless you have very boyish looks.

— Gary Oldman
