I've had such an odd career.

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

People, I just want to say, you know, can we all get along?

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

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

There's always been a shortage of roles for three-dimensional women, no matter what age. If you look at the statistics on women in film, be they behind the camera or in front of the camera, and it's pretty nauseous-making. It always has been.

My last son is leaving to go to college; my grandchildren are being born. My mother is living with me.
