As a child, I perceived my mother as an old woman.
I don't know the secret of Mrs. Brown, but what I do know is that there are things that Mrs. Brown says and does that Brendan O'Carroll couldn't get away with. I think maybe it's a leniency that they're with an old woman. It's the old woman thing. I think secretly we all just want to be Joan Rivers.
If you are a 19-year-old woman, there are very specific things that directors and the people in positions of power in the industry - who tend to be older men - are going to want you to be and do. They are not going to want some chatty, difficult, slightly spoilt girl.
It's hard not to let criticism make you feel bad about yourself - I do continue to struggle with that as an older woman in the workplace.
It is odd there are many movies with many men. But generally movies have one woman, or maybe the older woman and the younger girl.
If I find something funny and make an older woman laugh, I love that for some reason.
I realized I was an attractive older woman who never wanted to settle down.
Our youth-oriented society does not have a clearly defined place for the older woman.
The fact that a man is open to being with an older woman suggests that he doesn't give a hang what other people think of him. More likely, he's confident, open-minded and willing to make his own rules.
We equate beauty for women with youth, and that's sad. It's a shame it's so hard for so many of us to appreciate the beauty of an older woman and to accept it in ourselves.
Too much makeup on an older woman can really make you look like a freak.
I have a film I want to direct. Gena Rowlands was going to do it with me a long time ago. It's about an older woman who's running a ranch in the west the old fashioned way.
When somebody mentioned yoga for the first time, I just looked at it and thought, 'This isn't for me; it's for an older woman down at the health club trying to get supple.' But I thought, 'No, I can see the benefits there. I've got to embrace it.'
To play an older woman, 'til the look is not affected, it is never a problem for me. To play a matured character, it's different. You get to learn so much. It becomes more serious.
I think every major character I've played was originally for an older woman. I have no idea what that says. I guess I'm mature for my age.
I do like beauty, but an older woman can be beautiful and a clever woman is beautiful because that beauty shines through.
As you know, all women at all ages do not feel their ages anymore. The young girl feels older, and the older woman feels younger.
You can call me an older woman - I don't mind that at all - just don't call me an old one, because I'm not.
I think falling in love with an older woman is not abnormal. It happens a lot in our society, but it's just that it is not accepted with open arms.
If you put a much older woman in 'Doctor Who,' they can identify with it. I think it's quite an interesting concept, and if you remember things like 'Grimm's Fairytales,' the older woman is often the villainess, often the terrifying figure - why I do not know, but often she is. I think it's an idea to be exploited.
