I haven't had an orthodox career.

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

I've done some good work and some not-good work.

In reality, people are people. Age does a weird thing to your body on the outside. It makes your face fall and weird things happen all over. But inside, you're the same person you always were.

I so believe that older women have tremendous value to their families, their community, their country, the world.

If mothers ruled the world, there wouldn’t be any goddamn wars in the first place.

I came from a real working-class show business family.
