Sometimes things go really well, and sometimes they don't, and it's not ultimately the most important thing.

Who can I trust? You have to invest in somebody and chances are you're probably going to invest in somebody who's going to deceive you. I've been conned a couple of times, but now I'm a little more savvy.

There is a need, especially right now in America, to be a bit provocative.

Now, there are roles which are capturing a vibrant moment in an older woman's life. There was a time when those interesting roles stopped at 28. A few years ago we would have been finished by our age.

I feel there is no shortage of real interesting women's roles. But I found them and did all of them just now.

I'm 37 and I was told recently I was too old to play the lover of a man who was 55. It was astonishing to me. It made me feel bad, and then it made me feel angry, and then it made me laugh.

Having an education is invaluable.
