Zitat des Tages über Ältere Dame / Older Women:
Younger women tend to be busier, wearing more layers and more make-up. I don't know if it's because older women are more confident, or just that we don't care any more. But that pared-down approach is the same with the sentences I write; I take out adjectives and adverbs and keep the description to a minimum.
Looking at female candidates today, other women are the hardest on them, especially older women who were brought up in a different culture.
I guess I am attracted to older women. I'm looking for a 40-something who has had her heart broken two or three hundred times. She's going to be fun!
Sex and older women used to be considered an oxymoron, rarely mentioned in the same breath.
In Europe you can be Sophia, you can be these older women who are considered very sexy.
In the American office lexicon, 'aging' - and its close cousin 'old' - are inconsistent modifiers. While older women are often labeled as 'tired' and 'out of touch,' aging men get to be 'distinguished' and 'seasoned.'
Thank God we're not like America. Everyone wants to look like they're 20. In Europe we admire grown-up women; I think men revere older women.
Soaps are one of the few areas on TV that really embrace older women. In drama, there's this ridiculous invisibility for women between the ages of 40 and 60. Unless you're old enough to play a grandmother, there just aren't the roles.
I hate to generalize, but in general, both men and women suffer from ageism. Men much less because men gain power as they get older. Women lose power as they get older. Men are seen as gaining experience and being distinguished. Sons look forward to replacing their fathers.
Too often, older women are seen as victims, but I know lots of formidable women who have marvellous jobs as well as a full erotic life, and children and friends and family.
I was the Kate Moss of my day, atypical of what the public wanted, which was Brigitte Bardot. I was always tall, skinny and angular. But now, society has bought 55 years of my marketing 'Carmen,' and I'm considered beautiful. I hope that empowers older women.
Older women know who they are, and that makes them more beautiful than younger ones. I like to see a face with some character. I want to see lines. I want to see wrinkles.
What we need is more women writers, writing for older women. There are some actresses who have production companies and create their own material, and I truly admire that.
Older women are like aging strudels - the crust may not be so lovely, but the filling has come at last into its own.
I didn't want to let women down. One of the stereotypes I see breaking is the idea of aging and older women not being beautiful.
Market research shows that older women like seeing older women in ads, and that younger women do, too - because they see them and are not frightened of growing older.
Older women are best, because they always think they may be doing it for the last time.
There are some older women out there who are just knockouts, real beauties, and they're not getting the roles they should.
Just as young people absorb all kinds of messages from the media, young girls learn what it means to be a woman by watching the older women in their lives.
It's such a challenging time, and in my small way, I will make it so that other younger women, and maybe older women, will be able to do the things they want to do, and accept themselves and their experience.
I am China, pronounced as Chee-na. And I think it's time the world lets older women age gracefully.
Hollywood is the dream factory, and no one dreams about older women.
In literature, older women are not often given center stage.
There's an appetite for vigour in films. The camera loves a bit of movement. Movement is usually attached to younger people and men, and that's just the way it is. I think that it's a bitter pill to swallow, but it's a fact that there aren't going to be masses and masses of roles for older women because there isn't the audience for it.
In life, you see younger men and older women, and the majority of marriages don't have such a huge age gap as we're used to seeing in films.
Clearly older women and especially older women who have led an active life or elder women who successfully maneuver through their own family life have so much to teach us about sharing, patience, and wisdom.
There's talk of the lack of roles for older women. It's so tough and it's soul-destroying what some female actors do to their faces to try and keep producers happy.
Reluctant as I am to regard myself as a style icon, I would love to think I could inspire older women to make the most of themselves.
