Older actresses apparently have no sense of humor about being older actresses.

Ti West

I saw several actresses play the part. I did not in fact, as far as I know, do anything that any of the other actresses did. I don't think actresses do that. I think that what we do is we see a role as a role, we don't see it as a person. We look at the role and think, 'What can I, as an actor, bring to that part?

Polly Bergen

I'm from a generation of fantastic actresses. It's a big pool of really wonderful actresses, and so many of them we never even get to see on the screen anymore.

Karen Allen

The public want actresses, because they think all actresses bad. They don't want music or poetry because they know that both are good. So actors and actresses thrive and poets and composers starve.

George Bernard Shaw

I think that as actresses - and I've definitely gone through this in a really bizarre way, because I worked so much and was really lucky with the roles that I got when I was younger - I remember hearing the older actors saying, "It gets tough," and thinking, "Really? I can't imagine."

Winona Ryder

The advent of digitally enhancing images - and the fact that actresses weren't protesting against that - created an environment where big corporations felt like they had total ownership over the bodies of actresses.

Romola Garai

If I don't work very often, it's because what I read is written for formidable actresses, but actresses who make a habit of playing with their cup half full.

Isabelle Adjani

When I was younger and I was getting older, I remember thinking that if I couldn't do it gracefully, then I would have to quit. You know, looking at yourself aging onscreen, it can bring up stuff. It's one thing to be aging in a job where your looks don't matter, but as an actress, it's so much part of your image.

Carrie-Anne Moss

Certain type of actresses get younger instead of older. I always say, 'Only ingenues age.'

Elaine Stritch

Usually, I'll be auditioning for the third lead, and there will be Latina actresses, Indian actresses, African American actresses because it will be like, 'Let's check off this box. We have our lead white girl, and we need an ethnic slot.'

Constance Wu

I hope that I will be able to work all of my life - even when I am older. It's easier to do that in Europe than in America, because in America it is difficult for older actresses to find work.

Penelope Cruz

Truffaut loved actresses, and he was very intense. All the actresses I knew wanted to do a film with him.

Catherine Deneuve

There aren't enough meaty roles for actresses. Also, most actresses aren't ready to take risks.

Urmila Matondkar

There are several talented Malayali actresses, but still M-Town directors choose actresses from other states.

Shamna Kasim

Increasingly, it's actresses doing the big fashion advertising campaigns, and now there's no distinction between actresses and models.

Romola Garai

I learn a lot with actors that I don't think are good. Every experience shapes you. I've had experiences with actresses - and I say actresses because there's just a woman thing - that have achieved what she's achieved, by means that I can't understand.
