There are not a lot of places for an actor to explore what it's like to be a woman in her 60s. There aren't any films about it and there very few TV series about it.

It took me getting to my 50s before I could say "Whatever!" about other people's criticism, especially when it's not true.

What does the Academy Award mean? I don’t think it means much of anything.

And I realized that sometimes the greatest triumphs in your life come in on little cat feet and sit on silent haunches and it's up to you to see it before it moves on.

If I hadn't fought back, I might have been Gidget forever.

I MUST go to what desperately frightens me - the chance of failure.

There are some actors who are my contemporaries who I think of as purebreds and I'm not.
