I am appalled that the term we use to talk about aging is 'anti'. Aging is human evolution in its pure form. Death, taxes and aging .... We are ALL going to age and soften and mellow and transition.

I was doing a children's book on self-esteem, and I really felt like I wanted to shed the shame I'd been feeling - and maybe make it easier for women my age who had probably felt bad about themselves.

It's not that I'm retired, I just no longer accept acting work.

It's not unlike the movies for human actors. Once a dog stars in a movie, they don't work very much anymore. It's kind of heartbreaking.

I thought, while they're up and firm, why not shoot them once or twice.

Now all of a sudden I'm so less interested in pretending to be a lot of other people, and much more interested in being me.

Don't judge a book by its cover 'til you've read the book.
