You have to be desirable. And that's why so many woman of my age or even younger are pushed to Botox and plastic surgery all the things that people say 'Why do women do this?' Where do you go in your 50s in your career?
With age you get to a place where you don't want to knock people out. You just want to give people a hug.

I feel we live in the kind of culture now where you have to be very smart to navigate the right way and I just don't have those smarts. I think with age and time it will change but I can't obsess about it.
It's ironic that at age 32 at probably the greatest moment of my career with The Godfather having such an enormous success I wasn't even aware of it because I was somewhere else under the deadline again.
