I went into the family business. To me, it was the norm and not the exception.

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

I don't take part in texting and those other things myself, so I don't really know if people put as much thought into messaging as they used to into writing letters.

Love is as strict as acting. If you want to love somebody, stand there and do it. If you don't, don't. There are no other choices.

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 was raised to be in service to something larger than myself. A lot of actors concentrate on what they will get out of the profession, rather than what they can offer it. The way I see it, if you come with something to offer, you can offer it forever.

Everyone's life is a train wreck. Your life happens to be a high-class train wreck.
