Memory is the first casualty of middle age, if I remember correctly.
Beauty set up distance between other people and me. It warped their behavior.
I have never appreciated a quiet moment with a friend as much, a quiet moment with a book and I think part of that is my obsession with being older and time going faster and it's become increasingly sweeter for me.
I remember being in tears at the hospital after Chloe was born, at the thought that someday she would have to leave home.
The best way to be beautiful is to choose your parents well.
Men say they love independence in a woman, but they don't waste a second demolishing it brick by brick.
People see you as an object, not as a person, and they project a set of expectations onto you. People who don't have it think beauty is a blessing, but actually it sets you apart.
People can get crazier as they get older. I can just be weird whenever I want, and there's the freedom of not caring what people think.
I may not be a great actress but I've become the greatest at screen orgasms. Ten seconds of heavy breathing, roll your head from side to side, simulate a slight asthma attack and die a little.
Were women meant to do everything - work and have babies?
I was getting offers. I had just turned them down. Then I realized I should be grateful that at age 54, people were still offering me film roles.
THE MAN. Can't they realize that mankind was founded on two basic principles? Religion and Death? The one motivates the other. Both motivate the man!
Self-acceptance has been a blessed by-product of middle age.
It's impossible to be more flat-chested than I am.
