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.

The people who stand on the sidelines and criticize aren't actually in the arena, spilling their blood.

I haven't had an orthodox career.

When you're old, you are more certain of who you are, and that may be a good thing or a bad thing.

I find that I'm not as worried anymore about what other people think. That's a comfortable place to be. And I'm starting to let go of the feeling that I need to push myself to do things I don't want to do - an impulse that has always been linked to the feeling that I'm not enough.

I joined the Actors Studio and began to work with Lee Strasberg, and that changed my 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.
