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.

Western Costume, and the old Universal wardrobe that is huge and they're getting rid of so much of it now, which is sad.

The roles... the deep roles that I've gotten to play have turned my course. They've changed my life experience.

You know, people really don't understand what actors do.

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

The whole world is waiting. The whole world needs you.

I started to repeat to myself "If I'm not where I want to be, it's because I'm not good enough... yet." Which meant it was up to me.
