In this day and age, you need a lot of patience if you are in the movie business.
There’s no desire to be an adult. Adulthood is not a goal. It’s not seen as a gift. Something happened culturally: No one is supposed to age past 45 — sartorially, cosmetically, attitudinally. Everybody dresses like a teenager. Everybody dyes their hair. Everybody is concerned about a smooth face.
How few women have any history after the age of thirty!
At 50, don't let aging get you down. It's too hard to get back up. Happy 50th birthday.

And seeing if I could hit every single note just like her.
