It took me a long time not to judge myself through someone else's eyes.

I don't want to look old and worn, but what can you do? My real focus is being an actor. I care more about having the opportunity to play roles that I haven't played than I care if my neck looks like someone's bedroom curtains.

I so believe that older women have tremendous value to their families, their community, their country, the world.

I wanted to be Katharine Hepburn-ish - there was a bit of nobility about her.

I'm looking for a bunch of new tchotchkes that represent the new part of my life.

Had there not been a Mary Todd, there would not have been an Abraham Lincoln. She found him when he was a young lawyer and really a bumpkin. No one knew of him, but she recognized his brilliance.
