This idea that being youthful is the only thing that's beautiful or attractive simply isn't true. I don't want to be an 'ageless beauty.' I want to be a woman who is the best I can be at my age.

I wonder if it is harder for a woman who was beautiful to get older or a woman who was never looked at.

This idea that being youthful is the only thing that's beautiful or attractive simply isn't true.

Beauty and femininity are ageless and can't be contrived, and glamour, although the manufacturers won't like this, cannot be manufactured. Not real glamour; it's based on femininity.

I didn't want to let women down. One of the stereotypes I see breaking is the idea of aging and older women not being beautiful.

For the moment I prefer to be a beautiful woman of my age than try desperately to look 30.

In literature, older women are not often given center stage.

If you build a career on being a beautiful young woman, that's going to be a short career. I have to establish I can act. I don't want to have to visit the plastic surgeon every two years.

There are some older women out there who are just knockouts, real beauties, and they're not getting the roles they should.
