We equate beauty for women with youth, and that's sad. It's a shame it's so hard for so many of us to appreciate the beauty of an older woman and to accept it in ourselves.
We have the sort of beautiful older woman here in Paris. People like Loulou de la Falaise and Betty Catroux, all these beautiful looking women over 60... So there is culture here in France that even if you are older, you can stay beautiful.
As you know, all women at all ages do not feel their ages anymore. The young girl feels older, and the older woman feels younger.
I so believe that older women have tremendous value to their families, their community, their country, the world.
Older women are best, because they always think they may be doing it for the last time.
Sex and older women used to be considered an oxymoron, rarely mentioned in the same breath.
We need to hear stories from older women. There's a wealth of wisdom and real resilience there, but they're silenced.
Certain roles for older women are aimed at certain older actresses - I'm not one of those. I've been offered any number of Puerto Rican grandmas that I've turned down.
What we need is more women writers, writing for older women. There are some actresses who have production companies and create their own material, and I truly admire that.
I grew up with all my cousins. The men worked, and the older women raised us - my mother, my aunt, my grandmother. My great-grandmother was the matriarch, and sometimes there were 30 of us.
Market research shows that older women like seeing older women in ads, and that younger women do, too - because they see them and are not frightened of growing older.
Thank God we're not like America. Everyone wants to look like they're 20. In Europe we admire grown-up women; I think men revere older women.
In Europe, we admire grown-up women; I think men revere older women.
While younger women are told to be thinner and prettier, ads for older women emphasize looking younger and wrinkle free - tapping into the insecurities that many of us have about getting older.
I like to describe myself as a proudly visible member of the most invisible segments of our society - older women.
It's been amazing to see how brands, magazines, and designers are focusing on real stories from older women.
There's an appetite for vigour in films. The camera loves a bit of movement. Movement is usually attached to younger people and men, and that's just the way it is. I think that it's a bitter pill to swallow, but it's a fact that there aren't going to be masses and masses of roles for older women because there isn't the audience for it.
The age of a woman doesn't mean a thing. The best tunes are played on the oldest fiddles.
Women's marathoning was not added as an Olympic medal event until 1984 due to unfounded and bizarre concerns among Olympic organizers about women's ability to run longer distances. It was finally added after much campaigning.
I want women on-screen that we all either want to be, or we know, or we recognize.
