"I've been fighting ageism in Hollywood probably since I was about seven," said the 57-year-old. "It starts then in Hollywood, but it really… sexiness doesn't have to just be a young person's reality, the commodity of being sexy and being vibrant and not being burdened by so many of the things that burden you, whether it's your biological clock, or the way things are laid out for you, because that's what traditionally has done."
"All those burdens really do shift… They take on a different look and a different meaning really when it starts in your 40's," she shared. "That's when I started to just really not waste time on things that didn't serve me, or make me feel good about myself."
