ON HOLLYWOOD’S YOUTH OBSESSION:
“I’ve been told by producer, ‘Well, you know we need to get on this because you’re not getting any younger.’ Women are reminded of their age all the time and it’s usually by a fricking fat, big-bellied old man with a comb-over and you look at him and you’re like, ‘Really? Give me a break. You just have more money and more power in this situation than I do, but not in my life.’”
