It's true as a woman, particularly: the older you get, the parts get thinner on the ground and not quite as interesting, that's for sure.

Women become invisible as they age; men become impotent.

I'm not saying it's easy, and it's definitely harder for women. Because there is definitely a double standard about gorgeous older men, and it's different for older women.

You'll have a guy, and they're aging however they're aging, and nobody really cares. If you're a woman, it's different.

There's a lot of criticism on how an actress is aging. Why do we do that with women? I work with a lot of men who take terrible care of themselves - they drink too much, or they eat too much. We need to allow women to age.

It really pisses me off when people look at women who are older and are not in a relationship as somehow sad or missing something, because they certainly don't look at men that way.

The word barren tells you everything you need to know...The word spinster tells you everything you need to know about our attitude of women who choose not to marry...

The big difference is, as a man, I can go to a bar at two in the morning and people will be like "He's just a fun guy! That's cool that he can balance all these things." But if you see a person that you know who has two young kids and is a mom, there's no way those perceptions are the same. It's like "Oh, there must be a problem." That's usually what women face.
