Think about all these different kinds of women. Think about all the different looks we used to be able to see on the screen. Not one of these women was trying to fit a standard. But today you can put any six girls in a row and have a very hard time distinguishing them. Everybody's trying to fit a mold.

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 sorry I didn't wear paint this morning. I tend not to wear it unless I'm getting highly paid.

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

Love is as strict as acting. If you want to love somebody, stand there and do it. If you don't, don't. There are no other choices.
