I feel things are changing now. Actresses are working at same pace even after getting married or having kids.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
So many Hollywood actresses become successful and then just keep on going - they miss out on having a partner and a baby and end up lonely.
As an actress, you're perpetually about to be unemployed. That fear - when you have two parents who worked 9-to-5 jobs and went through periods of being unemployed - is real. Those were not welcome times in my childhood.
It's getting better generally, daily, especially in TV, for women in acting; and age and looks count less. As more women come into the business. Change of any sort takes a long time to happen.
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.
There are fewer and fewer new roles for actresses as they get older. And that's not right.
Frankly, we actresses are so much in a hurry. We feel we have very few years to shine in our career, so we neglect our personal life. But for me, both aspects are equally important. I don't want to grow old and have regrets.
Most actresses are always running late - I'm no exception.
At an age when most actresses are being phased out, I am being phased in - with a vengeance.
Women have to take more control of their careers. They can't just wait to be cast in a film.
As an actress, you never know when you're going to work again - and there's so much dependency on working.
