In the U.S., with very few exceptions, actresses older than 35 are simply discarded.

I thought that my movie career was finished. I was quite happy to dedicate myself 100% to the theater. Surprisingly enough, I've never gotten so many work offers. It's so exciting, this feeling of a new beginning after 40.

One of my problems is that I'm very honest and direct. You pay a price for that.

And you know, the baby boomers are getting older, and those off the rack clothes are just not fitting right any longer, and so, tailor-made suits are coming back into fashion.

I used to travel in tennis shoes; I am just not allowed to anymore. I'm an old hippie from San Francisco.

I have a passion to do theater.

When my career first began, I didn't have children - so there's a whole lot of difference in the way I choose roles now. Not just films for my children, but how long I'm going to be away, and is Dad going to be home while I'm gone. That sort-of factor plays a part.
