I have nothing against younger women and older men on screen. What is sad is that so many women over 40 who have so much to give aren't being considered to play opposite men their own age or younger.
The greatest thing is nobody cares that I'm fifty years old. They only care what I sound like.
Usually when a woman is 60, it's over.
It's just something that I like, and I also don't buy into the ageism theory.
Age is whatever you think it is. You are as old as you think you are.
America doesn't reward people of my age, either in day-to-day life or for their performances.
Any woman will tell you after the menopause, nobody whistle at her, well - that's just the beginning. As you get older people don't want you at their parties, we all are prejudiced about old people.
That's the kind of stuff you are offered today. Scripts that have you mixed up with young men. I find them utterly revolting.
I am 90. I can work day or night. I'm the same guy, but the polls show the effect of age. That's the issue.
I don't get played on radio anymore. Once you're over 40, forget it.
There's a terrible truth for many women in the picture business: Aging typically takes its toll and means fewer and less desirable roles.
Of course it's true: the public want to see young people - young people are the people who go to the cinema. It's a sad fact of life, but you've got to accept it and not whine about it.
I don't like the way young people write and talk about the old. I don't like their attitude, which, if they weren't young and therefore bright and vibrant, would be called outdated.
I put my name into the Google search bar. Justine Bateman... And the auto-complete comes up. The auto-complete says that the top option is, 'Justine Bateman looks old.'
If someone says to you, 'Go to an old-folks' home,' that's kind of ridiculous, because a lot of old people are doing terrific things for society.
Most people I work with are older than me and the main thing I've learnt is that everyone is a dumb as an 18-year-old.
It ticks me off to hear people say, 'Hey man, at your age you don't look like you're slowing down a bit.' Like, can I just be a football player? Why does the 33 age have to coincide with me when you talking football?
I didn't realize the age thing until I got hired and everybody was telling me I was f - -ing old.
I wrapped 'Buffy' and I always felt on 'Buffy' that they wanted to keep me younger for a specific reason. It seemed like I was getting younger every year that I was on the show. I think there was a reference to me being 15, then 14.
I've always been told I had an old face. So when I was in my 20s, I never got to play a teenager.
I'm 77. The only reason I'm ever shy about it is that people tend to think of you in terms of what they think that age is. I certainly don't feel any different than I did when I was 35, and my energy seems to be more than it was then.
I feel sometimes and in some ways like Linda Romanoli and Monica Velour; I feel marginalized because I'm in my fifties. If you went online and you look at some of the blogs, which one can do on a lonely night, it's pretty startling what people will say about you just because you're in your fifties.
I thought that maybe it is not so much, as he seems to think, that the world loses interest in female performers after they hit a certain age, than the performers lose interest in the world.
I'm not a big fan of young people.
When you're the older guy, everybody talks about you. When you win, everybody talks about you. When you lose, everybody talks about you.
