AGING BACKWARDS

For women in Hollywood, it is very difficult to sustain yourself and stay above water. Women and girls are judged much more harshly than our male counterparts.

In a face-to-face sit-down with a new agent and manager, I was just told, I can't play older than 35-39 years old. But this doesn't help as an actor. You still can't get roles when you are up against actual 35 year-olds. Being a public figure means that the whole world knows your birth year. This is unfortunate because I will never be my so-called age. I am as curious, inspired and excited as a child. Some of us will always be that way.

I don't believe in aging. I don't believe in sickness, disease, or age. I don't look older than 39 or 40 and have never had plastic surgery.

I also don't buy into any limitation in life.
