I'm not interested in age. People who tell me their age are silly. You're as old as you feel.
I don't want to be 45 competing with 20-year-olds, running to go get Botox. I want to be an expressive actor hired for the age that I am, portraying women who are my age: 40. I'm just hoping I can find some of those roles to play. Otherwise, I have to find something else.
Well, you know, I'm much older than I look.
There are two barriers that often prevent communication between the young and their elders. The first is middle-aged forgetfulness of the fact that they themselves are no longer young. The second is youthful ignorance of the fact that the middle aged are still alive.
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.
I want the young guys to say, 'How old is this guy that's blocking me every play?'
In past generations, people would try to play younger than they really are. My trick is, I don't try to play younger than I really am.
For any female actor, the age between 35 to 45 is treacherous. Filmmakers tell me, I am at that awkward age. No parts are written for women in this age bracket, while men at that age flourish and have great careers.
I don't think age has anything to do with what you write about.
If you want to know how old you look, just walk into a French cafe. It's like a public referendum on your face.
Young men have a passion for regarding their elders as senile.
Age is whatever you think it is. You are as old as you think you are.
Film roles really did start to dry up when I got into my 40s.
It's just something that I like, and I also don't buy into the ageism theory.
As an actor ages north of 60, he tends to be in more father roles than anything else. It's generational. And it tends to be a relationship that fascinates people, the flawed relationships between parents and kids.
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.
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 think that acting is as youth-obsessed as the general culture. In acting, as you get older, you get better, and the parts you get improve, too. But that's only true for a man, not a woman.
Anybody over 40 is an older person. You better give them some respect.
Nobody under 55 knows anything much about life. Nobody under 30 knows anything.
I've just always got on with people older than me for some reason.
There shouldn't be a stigma about age with footballers.
There's a terrible truth for many women in the picture business: Aging typically takes its toll and means fewer and less desirable roles.
When I talk about my husband, I feel as if people roll their eyes. It's like when you're 16 and order a martini, and the waiter says, 'Do you think I'm stupid?'. They can't grasp that I'm old enough to be married.
People talk to old people like they're children.'Oh you're very old aren't you?' Yeah I'm old. I'm not stupid.
