Sweat makes good friendship cement.

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.

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 think the 20s are a vastly overrated decade. We promise kids that once they get out of school, life will begin and their dreams will come true. But then comes the struggle.

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 am a greedy actor in the sense that I like the big bites. Put a big fat steak in front of me, and I will eat it.

I don't have a waist: I'm a breadbox on top of legs.
