Some men can maintain cragginess and weary masculinity. Women just get old.

Image
All an actor has, I think, is their heart, really,...that's the place you go for your inspiration. If my heart wasn't filled with them, where would I get stuff? What would I have to express?
Meryl Streep
Image
I always feel like I can't do it, that I can't go through with a movie. But then I do go through with it after all.

We all make the mistake thinking that how you look makes you more worthy of love.

Image
I guess a normal woman would find it extremely enjoyable to wear fancy clothes. For me, I didn't enjoy it. It felt like a straight jacket.

It's harder for men to imagine themselves as the girl in the movies than it is for me to imagine myself as Daniel Craig bringing down the building.

As there begins to be less time ahead of you, you want to be exactly who you are, without making it easier for everyone else.
