The beauty of age is we grow, we learn. We have more wisdom. And as much as the youth-glorifying Hollywood would like us to believe, it's nothing. They're wrong.

Every time I think I'd want a huge, huge career, I realize I'd go crazy under that kind of scrutiny.

Jessica Lange in Frances... was dramatic and passionate and one of the strongest performances I've seen a woman do.

I'm in a space of surrendering and being open and seeing. It's a good place to be - the only place to be.

What I went through in 1976, it's the same today: It's about all the pressure that you feel, the anxiety, the family, and everything that surrounds the Games, and then getting there knowing this is your big chance, and you're able to come through. It's such a satisfying thing.

Thinking back to those earlier days, I felt I was weak when I wasn't making movies, and then when I was, I thought I was weak as a family member.
