“At about 40, the roles started slowing down. I started getting offers ...” — Kathleen Turner Quote

At about 40, the roles started slowing down. I started getting offers to play mothers and grandmothers.

I am certainly a liberal.

I always thought the point was to have a bigger life, to meet more people. So I don't understand Hollywood.

It begins and ends with money. It's absurd in this day and age when we need so much money for education, health, for people, that a $100 million dollars can be spent on a film. It's obscene.

My father was a diplomatic officer. As a diplomat's daughter, you have to learn to present yourself very early on.

My friends would always joke that I'm 'the grandmother' and 'the homebody' because I can't stay up past nine o'clock, but a lot of that rest is so important for me.

I have a very loving grandmother who instills guidance and responsibility and faith in myself.

I think I must be the only grandmother in the world who was given an iPod by her grandsons. It has changed my life - I'd be lost without it.

My grandmother raised her nine kids and raised my mom's three.

I'm a grandmother, but I don't want to look like a grandmother. I still want to look sexy and sophisticated.
