Talented people are written off once they hit their 50s and 60s, and the saddest thing is, we just get better as we get older.

I'm smart with my money, I invest conservatively. I don't mind paying top-dollar, but I don't want to get ripped off.

I'm not a personality actress. I never have been. I have been a character actress.

If you stick with a vision, it might not all work, but some of it will be absolute genius. To me, 15 minutes worth of absolute genius in a film is so much better than two hours of mediocrity. I would rather pay to see something different like that.

Really rejoice in being yourself. Have your own drumbeat.

What I'm now discovering - and I'm now in another decade - is that the older I get the more I have my self knowledge which makes me feel more sexy.

That's what life is - you follow where your heart leads you - at least I do.
