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.

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.

Sweat makes good friendship cement.

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

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.

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.
