Actors don't really get into their stride until they're in their late 30s and 40s.

I was the kid that grew up watching Bette Davis films.

We had a moment in the '40s and '50s, where female characters were very strong in film, where these incredible roles were written for women like Joan Crawford, like Bette Davis. But then there was a space of time where - I don't know why - it wasn't like that. It became difficult for women to find certain roles after a certain age.

Bette Davis was a close friend. She loved to have a good time.

There is this thing in America where actresses reach 40 and go mad. The film industry wants all these young people.

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.

I grew up on Bette Davis movies, and Marlene Dietrich, Marilyn Monroe.

I got old the way that women who aren't actresses grow old.

Certain type of actresses get younger instead of older. I always say, 'Only ingenues age.'

I kind of knew it wasn't going to be until my 30s that I really hit my stride as an actor.
