The director's job is full of all sorts of annoyances and details - like how many cars are on the street. Ugh. I don't want it. I like my gig. And I feel that for the next 30 years or so I can keep learning more about it.

Women are usually only interesting to studio executives when they are fecund, between the ages of 15 and 30. I decided to get through the really tough patch, around 50, by just cutting my price and playing ten years older. I didn't want to have to wait until I was an old lady to play one.

I'm sorry I didn't wear paint this morning. I tend not to wear it unless I'm getting highly paid.

I'm interested in playing old ladies because I am becoming one. And I want to become a very good one!
