So when I got to 50 I just thought, Hold on: I'm thin. I've got my hair. I'm well off. I survived, you know.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I just try to keep healthy more so than trying to be thin.
There's a lot more to life than how fat or thin you are.
At the age of 41, I'm glad I still have hair.
There is no need to feel defeated at 40, 50 or 60. I'm having the greatest time in the second half of my life.
I'm still strong and in the best shape to continue living my life.
When I turned 50, I said to myself, well, if this is what it's like turning 50, I can't wait to turn 60 because I still felt very, very mentally and physically good, outside my back surgery.
The thinnest I've ever been was after I had my appendix out, during the London run of The Seagull. I went down to 112 pounds and realized my brain doesn't work when I'm that thin, so I can't do my job. That's why, when I came out here, I never had that whole Hollywood pressure thing.
I don't think I got thin. I think I got healthy.
Turning 50 changed me and I'm far more accepting of myself. I'm not thin, but I am a size 10. I go in at the middle and very much out at the bottom and top. And now I think, 'Well, that's how I am.'
Whether I'm 40, 50 or 60, I'm going to be as physically strong as I am able.
