A lot of times, when you're acting, you have to explain things to the audience, and it's boring work to do that. It's really hard to make that interesting. I like the discovery of characters. I think people are smart. Audiences are intelligent and can figure things out by just watching behaviors.

I love being an advocate for women as we get older so that we can feel comfortable with ourselves. It's all about being healthy for me now.

A man who opens a door for a woman or gives up his seat for her-even offering to carry something! Those are country manners that never go out of style.

I had a whole bunch of very successful movies. I have worked with some incredible people - incredible.
