Not that it was Twiggy's fault, but the ubiquity of her image created a sense in young women that to be stylish meant to be skinny, flat-chested with an ingenue face and straight hair.
When you say you're 40, you can't call yourself an ingenue any more.
I spend a lot of time at my son's school and I really wanted to do a movie that the kids could see. The good thing about being my age and not having to be the ingenue anymore is that I get to be a mom. I get to have kids in my movies.
I've never wanted to be the ingenue. Now that I'm getting into my forties, I think my time as a woman has arrived; I think I might have a new moment in my career. I have that drive left - just for a little while.
I could never play the ingenue, the girl next door or the very successful young doctor. That would be a bore.
I was never the ingenue or the pretty girlfriend of Tom Cruise in a movie. I didn't have that career, so I don't have to compete on that level.
I've always wanted my characters to have more dimension and realistic cores than the ingenue material often provides. It's been a challenge.
I can't be an ingenue forever, and I wouldn't want to be.
I think of myself more as a character actor than that ingenue leading lady, who started out something like Michelle Pfeiffer, or Jessica Lange. I'm a bit quirkier than that.
I'm not afraid to play my age. I never was. I've never been an ingenue. I like getting older.
