Frances McDormand

“Most women's pictures are as boring and as formulaic as men's pictures. In place of a car chase or a battle scene, what you get is an extreme closeup of a woman breaking down.”

“My position has always been that the way people age and the signs that we show of aging is nature's way of tattooing. It's natural scarification, and the life you lead gives you the symbols and the emblems of your life, the road map you followed.”

“That's another great thing about getting older. Your life is written on your face.”

“I like being my age. I kind of have a political thing about it.”
