My favourite performances are by actresses like Bette Davis in 'All About Eve' or Gena Rowlands in pretty much anything - performances that have nothing to do with age.

Apparently, Bette Davis and a lot of actresses had a hard time in their 30s, too.

I was the kid that grew up watching Bette Davis films.

Bette Davis is my hero. I'm obsessed with her. I base everything I do on her.

Back in the days of Barbara Stanwyck and Bette Davis, beauty wasn't the be-all and end-all it is today.

When I first watched Bette Davis in 'All About Eve', I was struck by how much I felt that she is Margo Channing and that she's Bette Davis, where she was able to do both, where you're like, 'What an icon.'
