Older men get lovable, and older women get monstrous.
Don't trust anyone over 30.
I think older women's voices are the most hated voices in the world - whether it's because people are reminded of their mothers or what, I don't know.
Age is not a problem. It becomes a problem when people try and make us think old.
In America, the old are neglected.
I'm older. There's some sort of seniority. As a matter of fact, the seniority ebbs as you get older.
I got the role I loved the most at a point in my career when most women are being phased out.
Too old at 72? Careful. Ageism is out. We'll have the law on you!
In my experience, adults rarely bother reading the reviews of children's books and almost never read the books themselves - particularly if they don't have children.
I don't buy into you're on the slag heap when you're 40 or 50 or 60 or 70 or whatever.
'Ageism,' or whatever you want to call it, is a very English phenomenon. You don't get it too much in many other cultures. And no one says it about authors or poets or filmmakers. 'Oh, they're too old to make films or write books.'
I don't care about age very much.
I hope that I will be able to work all of my life - even when I am older. It's easier to do that in Europe than in America, because in America it is difficult for older actresses to find work.
Discrimination due to age is one of the great tragedies of modern life. The desire to work and be useful is what makes life worth living, and to be told your efforts are not needed because you are the wrong age is a crime.
As a person who wants to see and believe in the story, I don't think women at age 50 are able to sing young girls.
Hollywood stops hiring their star leading ladies when they turn 40. It's very defeating.
There are companies around today who will not hire over age 40, will not train after age 50 and who don’t want you around after age 60.
I was playing 40-year-old women when I was 20. I didn't get considered for ingenue roles.
Quentin Tarantino is my 15-year-old son's favorite director, and by that I mean no condescension to either Tarantino or my 15-year-old son.
Every time a young driver comes into F1, the finger's pointed at him over his age. I don't think that's right.
Generational thinking has always been reductive and condescending.
You don't really want nonagenarians as heads of organisations which are trying to do something useful.
It's insulting to believe that teens should have a different kind of book than an adult should.
Certain roles for older women are aimed at certain older actresses - I'm not one of those. I've been offered any number of Puerto Rican grandmas that I've turned down.
Every man over forty is a scoundrel.
