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

Sweat makes good friendship cement.

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.

Both my parents were actors. I was schooled to think that acting was an important social service, that it was something that human beings need.

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.
