"I think that's what makes life interesting - the evolution of getting older, and it's kinda fascinating to me, the whole process"
About this Quote
The subtext is especially pointed coming from an actress who grew up in public. For performers, “getting older” isn’t just biology; it’s casting, scrutiny, tabloid math, and the quiet recalibration of who gets to be seen as desirable, complex, or central. When she calls the process “fascinating,” it reads like a small act of resistance to a culture that treats women’s aging as either tragedy or punchline. Fascination is a refusal to perform dread.
The hedges - “I think,” “kinda” - soften the line, but they also reveal a self-protective realism. She’s not claiming mastery over time, just an ongoing willingness to watch it work. That restraint is the point: the quote lands because it’s observational, not motivational. It gives permission to be intrigued by change rather than instantly turning it into a lesson, a fear, or a product.
