I'm not glamorous, I don't have a look, I don't know anything about opera, I have no Italian, and I'm too old.

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.

Sweat makes good friendship cement.

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.

If you accept limitations then, yeah, you'll be limited. If you don't accept limitations then the horizon is pretty vast.

You know, my hair is very upsetting to people, but it's upsetting on purpose. It is important to look old so that the young will not be afraid of dying. People don't like old women. We don't honor age in our society, and we certainly don't honor it in Hollywood.

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