I'm 40 next year and I'm very well aware that where I am now, it becomes a bit of a wilderness for actresses.

Every actress has to face the facts there are younger, more beautiful girls right behind you. Once you've gone beyond the vanity of the business, you'll take on the tough roles.

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.

There are fewer and fewer new roles for actresses as they get older. And that's not right.

I feel like I go through cycles as an actress.

I don't see myself as having to compete with younger actresses; I don't feel that.

When you're an actress, you become this thing in people's hands that people are trying to manipulate. I cannot stand it.

There are very few actresses who can grow old and still get exciting parts... I think it's very important for me to have wider horizons, rather than just waiting for calls.
